Course Description
A four-week series of one-hour classes designed to give students a solid foundation in the essential movements of exotic dance. Areas covered include: posture, eye contact, walking, hand placement, hip movement, chair dance, floor work and striptease.
- Session One - A Primer on the Ancient Art of Sensual Dance
After a short introduction on the history of exotic dance, we’ll work on perfecting our posture, the secrets of enchanting eye contact, the art of luscious hip movements (sways and rolls), alluring arms and graceful hands.
- Session Two - Using a Chair as Exotic Prop
One of the most versatile props in exotic dance, a chair can be used in varied and exciting ways. After warming up, we’ll learn a short routine that centers around the chair.
- Session Three - More on the Floor
Floorwork is a deeply intimate and feminine component of exotic dance. This class will focus on a luscious, languid series of floor moves that can either be a dance unto themselves or incorporated into a longer routine.
- Session Four - The Sensual Striptease
There’s an art to taking it off, while leaving them wanting more. In this class, we’ll explore the science behind the striptease and learn a sassy routine that incorporates an oversized shirt. Students are asked to bring their own shirt to wear over their workout clothes for this class.
