Chair Dancing with Lola van Ella*

Saturday, Feb 23
2:30-4:00pm

It’s time to get sexy.  Using a chair as a prop has been utilized in burlesque and exotic dancing for years, and for good reason. Join Lola for a workshop in exotic, sultry and sexy moves all involved around one of the most well loved and readily available props around. We will spend 90 minutes learning an arsenal of tried and true sultry moves that can be used to great effect on stage or in the bedroom. We will work that chair like a hot lover and discover all kinds of fun and tantalizing moves on top of, below, behind and all over that chair. By the end of our time, we will also learn a ready to perform, choreographed routine to take home.
$20

*Please bring a pair of heels to dance in and wear form fitting clothing that you can move easily in. Dress to move but also feel cute! Yoga pants, leotards, leggings, and short shorts are all great.
