Sunday:
12pm Beyond Boobies, put some hep in your step! With Hotsie Totsie
After a decade of training in ballet, jazz, tap, modern, and Renaissance dancing, Hotise Totsie got hep to the jive. Now this burlesque baby puts some swing in her step! In Beyond Boobies, Hotsie will teach you how to borrow moves from the stars of the Cotton Club, the Folies Bergeres, the Vegas Strip, and the silver screen -- even if you have no formal dance experience. It's burlesque appeal with or without the reveal! The class is open to guys and dolls. Wear clothes you can move in --high heels, if you can handle them!
2pm They shimmied, they smoked, they spooned, and they sizzled. They cut their hair short and their hemlines shorter. And when the depression hit, their bare skin raised spirits higher than the arch in their eyebrows. These were the bad girls of the twenties and thirties. This class will focus on the moves that grew out of the radical new styles of entertainment, dress, and behavior in the crazy decades between the Wars.
ABCs & 123s Burlesque Classes are $20 each or you can by a four class pass for $60, making each class only $15, saving you $20. Workshops do have a minimum attendance requirement, so if you plan to be there please send us an email to pre-register at syrensofthesouth@gmail.com no later than 5pm the Friday before the scheduled class if you have not already prepaid for the class or if you are planning on using a class pass.

12pm -2pm "Give 'Em Some! With Ursula Undress"
We all know that, like the rhinestone, the art of burlesque has many facets. Not only do you need to master the art of taking it off, costuming, and hair and make-up, you also need to have some real stage presence and audience interaction. This class will help you get over your fear of being on stage, get comfortable with eye contact, and warm you up with basic acting techniques - all guaranteed to bring out your inner Tigress...or Goddess, or sex kitten, or saucy wench....the list goes on and on. Please wear clothes that you can really move and stretch in.
2pm-4pm "Move to the Music" with Ursula Undress
This basic movement class is a dance class for dancers and non-dancers alike. Learn how to travel across stage, work with your body, and emphasize what you've got. Special attention is paid to improvising with music and adding spice to your number through "pow" moves. Please wear clothes to dance in and either the shoes you are performing in, or something similar.
Classes in the ABCs & 123s Class Series are $20 each or $60 for a four class pass, a savings of $20. The classes do have a minimum requirement, so please email syrensofthesouth@gmail.com by 5pm the Friday before the class.
