A curated two-day escape in New Orleans that blends spa pampering, historic sights, and a hands-on burlesque lesson for a small women-only group. Expect professional photos, streetcar rides through the Garden District, and enough downtime to actually feel renewed.
Morning light slices through the ironwork of Jackson Square as a small group assembles beneath the cathedral’s shadow. Laughter mixes with the distant brassy wail of a street musician; the city already busy, already awake. Over the next 48 hours the pace alternates between deliberate rest and curated discovery: a private burlesque lesson where confidence becomes a practiced step, a slow glide on the St. Charles streetcar past live-oak canopies and antebellum facades, and a luxury spa session that reorients the body after long travel.
