We hung up our ballet shoes and put away our jazz hands long ago, but sometimes we still get the itch to just dance.
This time around, however, we’re strapping on our heels to take the Burlesque Beauties Dance Class (from $18), taught by local sweetheart Carla Catherwood, founder of the original Burlesque Beauties troupe.
Class begins with a pilates-inspired warm up and a set of hip swivels, followed by a series of walking struts across the studio. She then helps count the way through a sassy routine– the last lesson left us with sultry new moves, set to Musiq Soulchild’s “So Beautiful”, to show a (very!) lucky someone.
Dita Von Teese has got nothing on us.
