Description
As an internationally touring burlesque artist, with over 15 years of industry experience under my belt, I’ve learned a thing or two about making it in the glitzy world of burlesque. In my private, one-to-one mentoring sessions I can help guide you in a number of areas, from learning the very basics of striptease to polishing and refining your act. My ethos as a mentor is quality, focused mentoring, which means when we’re in a session together I will give you 100% of my attention and expertise, in helping you wherever you are on your burlesque journey.
These one hour sessions can take place either in person at my South London studio (15 minutes by train from London Bridge), or over Zoom. I’m also happy to travel to any central London dance studio space, should you prefer (external studio hire costs are not included in the session price, so please bare this in mind when booking).
I also offer longer term mentoring with my 1:1 mentoring programme package which includes 6 hours of mentoring at a reduced rate of £65ph.
The list of things we can focus on during your session include (but is not limited to):
- Basic striptease techniques (gloves, robes, bras)
- Posing and creating elegant lines
- Mastering corset removal
- Stocking peel technique
- Pre- choreographed routines (from any of my classes)
- How to develop your own act idea
- How to choreograph your act
- Costume planning (where to source fabric, embellishments and other costume components)
- Costume embellishment work
- Refining an existing act
- Understanding music for burlesque
- How to think about stage lighting for your performance
- How to approach bookers and get booked
- Managing your online social media presence
- Planning an overseas tour
When you book your one-to-one session, you will receive a confirmation with my email address and WhatsApp number so we can schedule your session for a time that suits you. Booked sessions must be scheduled within 3 months of purchase.
