ALL CLASSES AT - PADDINGTON PLAY CENTRE (10 Moreton St, Paddington)

When: 6:30-7:30pm
Teacher: Scarlet Tinkabelle
Class: Floored Chair
Class Dates: 8 consecutive weeks commencing 3rd August
All Levels
Price: $190 Full Term or $30 per class for casual
This 8-week term is a deep dive into two of burlesque and variety's most electric skill sets: floorplay and acro chair.
Floorplay brings the slow-burn seduction with grounded, sensual movement that plays with weight, texture, and eye contact to hold a room in the palm of your hand. Acro chair flips the energy on its head (sometimes literally), building strength, control, and daring physicality as you learn to use the chair as partner, obstacle, and prop all at once.
Across the term you'll build technique, stamina, and performance quality in both styles, developing a movement vocabulary you can bring straight into your own acts later on.
Song: Pussy Liquor - Rob Zombie
Costume: Blacks with green & purple accents

Price: $190 Full Term or $30 per class for casuals
Have you ever drunk Bailey's from a shoe? Inspired by an iconic character, this neo burlesque routine will connect you to your inner sensuality, in the most disconcerting and awkward way possible. The vibe is you are feeling feral and thirsty, but the stronger you come on the more your victim, er, potential love connection, pulls away. Quit playing those love games, jump in our lake, and let the legend of Old Gregg get you nice and wet.
Costume: Pink tutu skirt, jacket, black unders, green socks, boots. Green wigs sourced by Lydia.
Song: Cream - Prince (the Lydia edit )
Suitable for: Beginners and Old Gregg fans, if you're a little awkward that fits the character perfectly fine

All Levels
Price: $175 Term or $30 per class for casuals
Time for a slower, slinkier routine from Lydia, oozing with serious sensuality and not a speck of silliness. Shocking, right? In this routine Lydia explores the dark side of lust, where even though you know someone is bad for you, you just can't help yourself. Burning with desire, craving their touch, knowing there's no soft romantic Hallmark ending for you, but it feels worth it somehow. Lose yourself in the moment, consequences be damned.
Costume: black underwear, black panel skirts, flame motifs, red gloves, black shoes
Song: Fire of Love - Jesse Jo Stark
Suitable for: Beginner to intermediate thirsty bîtches
