Step out of the daylight and into the haze of a 1950s underground jazz lounge. This 8-week choreography series focuses on the art of the "slow burn." Forget the high-energy kicks of the showgirl; we are diving into the sultry, grounded world of a lazy piano bar. Think velvet curtains, a single spotlight, and the effortless cool of a jazz standard playing in the corner.
What You’ll Learn
Over two months, we will build a full routine from the ground up, focusing on:
• The 50s Jazz Aesthetic: Master classic movements like feline walks, low-profile drags, and liquid-smooth transitions.
• Musicality & "The Pocket": Learn how to dance behind the beat, letting the piano dictate your breath and your pauses.
• The Art of the Reveal: We’ll incorporate classic burlesque removals, styled with the sophistication of the era
• Character & Storytelling: Develop your stage persona—are you the weary chanteuse, the mysterious regular, or the star of the show?
Opportunity to perform the routine at The Vaudeville Carnival 16th May!
