What my students say
It's always nerve racking meeting someone new, especially someone you have seen perform and you admire immensely. I reached out to Gina for a private burlesque class and she instantly made me feel safe and comfortable.
She was very responsive with questions prior to the class and on the day arrived with energy, warmth and smiles. The class only being an hour was delivered with maximum punch, with Gina ensuring we covered all aspects we had wanted to include.
Not only was this private totally worth every cent, it gave so much more...I felt seen, heard and valued and that is something that stays with you for a long time. Gina is an absolute natural teacher and is enthusiastic about uplifting and supporting emerging artists. I would highly recommend doing a private with Gina! I can't wait for my next one!

Are the workshops inclusive?What I’ve always loved about Burlesque is that it’s been a safe space for me to explore my creativity, my body, and my sexuality. I cherish being able to provide that same empowering experience for others, and it means so much to me to share this journey with you. Whether you’re new to dance or have some experience, my workshops are open to all levels, and I encourage everyone to learn at their own pace. My workshops are beginner-friendly, body-positive, and inclusive of all genders, bodies, identities, and backgrounds. They’re also sex-positive, with the ultimate goal of empowering you and celebrating who you are through the art of Burlesque.

What should I wear to the Workshops?I want you to feel confident, sexy, and empowered during my workshops, so wear clothing that is comfortable, easy to move in, and makes you feel your best. Many people choose leggings, crops, sports bras, singlets, or shorts. For shoes, you can opt for heels, jazz shoes, sneakers, flat dance shoes, or go barefoot if that’s more comfortable for you. If we’re doing floor work, please bring knee pads for protection. Don’t forget to bring water to stay hydrated, and if you'd like to take notes, feel free to bring a notepad and pen.
