Burlesque for everyone

Burlesque classes are the best way to celebrate a birthday or hen party! Bring your friends, mum, aunts together and have a party. Our dance studio is right in the center of Brighton and can host up to 30 ladies! You will learn to shimmy, dance with boas and feather fans.

We make sure the star of the day, birthday girl of bride to be is having the best time with bubbles and cupcakes for the breaks!

Not to forget that Brighton has everything to offer, from the beach to amazing places to dine or dance (Shelter Hall is one of our favourite!) We can help you finding the right places for your weekend.

Body Acceptance

It takes time, it’s a journey. It took me 15 years to feel good in my body. Dancing helped considerably. It’s a battle, a fight that only you can win. People can help you, support you but you are the conductor of this orchestra.

I have done it all. From food restriction to over exercising. It is exhausting and not healthy for your body and mind.

Be kind to your body. Be kind to your friend’s, son’s, sister’s or daughter’s body.

Being a teenager is one of the most complicated time. I was born petite with a few extra pounds but that was enough to feel uncomfortable. I didn’t like my body. I didn’t understand why some of us were born tall and slim and some differently.

 During this time your entourage plays an important role. Everything said stays in your mind. It should all be about encouraging, supporting and telling that person how beautiful she is, no matter what. 

I encourage all teenagers, boys and girls, to join a dance class! And parents to suggest it! It helps being aware of your body, whom is changing so fast at that age. It builds your confidence, gets you prepare for the future.

If you don’t accept your body and feel you won’t until you change, telling yourself you are beautiful may not be enough. There is no magic, it is a process. Everyone is different but for me dancing and exercising was the key to happiness. It changed the way I perceived my body.  It changed my mindset. 

Be kind to your body

 The key is to do something you love. It’s like a job, you will never do a great job unless you enjoy it. Don’t join a gym if you hate it or force yourself to join a bootcamp. Try different sports, experiment. You might like the sport but not the group and vies versa. Find what is right for you. We are lucky to live in Brighton, it is full of opportunities! Don’t forget the sea for swimming ;).

Only persist what makes you happy to the point you should forget you are actually exercising. Trust me I do. When I dance, time stops!

 I fell in love with group exercise classes and dancing. I love the dancing community and how fast you can make new friends. We are all in together. There is a strong sense of solidarity in a dance class. I made friends for life from dancing! 

How Burlesque changed my life

 Let’s face it, as ladies our body changes significantly through age! Our hips, thighs, breast and butt develop! Burlesque dancing was meant to be. Burlesque is all about curves, sensuality and confidence. 

After my first few months of Burlesque dancing, my thighs became toned, my butt got lifted, my posture improved and I even lost some weight! All of this while enjoying it and having fun! 

 It’s about accepting your body and enjoying it, we love curves in Burlesque!  

I use to be shy about my body, now I crave being on stage and dancing with a chair and boa! A new woman!

I wish to all of us to find peace in this journey of body acceptance, we are all in together.

With love,

Justine

Why should you have a Burlesque Hen Party?

What is a Burlesque Hen Party?

It is such a fun activity to do with your friends on this special weekend!  A great way to bond as group and get to know each other with giggles and sexy moves. The perfect way to get into a party mood and have fun with your girls. The class is about feeling feminine, glamour and of course revealing your inner diva!

Prior to a wedding, bridesmaids, bride to be and hens are usually quite stressed. There is a lot to do and to plan. Bridesmaids spend months planning the perfect hen party, pleasing everyone and worrying about every details. Some of us even go through dieting, crazy exercise routine in order to fit into the dress and be perfect on the big day! We know exactly what your going through as we have all been there! Planning a hen party can be a real struggle and sometimes a lot of pressure on your shoulder!

This is why a Burlesque Hen Party is the perfect way to release tension and simply have fun surrounded by friends and family. Have a laugh, learn an easy dance routine, drink champagne and dance like you’ve never danced before! No one is watching, it is between you and the girls!

This is the occasion to shine and get all your best friends to experience it, together, as a team of goddess!
