Guided by a professional burlesque artist, the workshop offers an accessible gateway to an often-overlooked form of physical expression, rooted in theatricality and classic pin-up flair. Attendees slip into gloves and wield feather fans, channeling icons like Marilyn Monroe while developing poise and confident stage presence.
