Prop - Vegan Boas (Provided by Gina)

Get wrapped up in the world of the Boa in this hands-on workshop. Together we'll playfully explore this iconic Burlesque prop, deep dive into the history of our Burly legends who used them such as Satan's Angel and learn techniques that will enhance your performance. We'll learn musicality contrast, emotional nuance and connecting a story to our boa, so that you can discover your own unique flavor of sensuality and charm.

What this workshop covers:

• Signature boa moves: drapes, flicks, wraps, and reveals

• Exploring Burly legends

• Technique and musicality

• Tips and tricks on how to make a boa and different types of boas

• Poses, posture, walks and how to use the boa to accentuate your body

• Slow and powerful choreography

Vegan Boa's will be provided for this workshop by Gina, but you're more than welcome to bring your own.

My Mission

"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.

I acknowledge that sex workers pioneered and were the integral part in the history and creation of this art form. I'm committed to honour, respect, and celebrate the foundational contributions of those who have shaped and continue to influence the burlesque community today.

What to wear and bring

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 professional dance heels (no stilettoes or everyday 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.
