And yes, we're keeping the in-person experience alive with a few in-person spots available during select classes for anyone who wants feedback and constructive criticism (these get recorded so our online students get the live feedback too).

L***y Layers this Wednesday July 22th theme is Peeling with Props! (continued by popular demand)
How do you remove the layers when your hands are occupied with a set of fans, a boa, or cane? What do you do when you are juggling your stripping with the scenery? Bring a costume piece &/or prop piece and we will do some lab work together to get more comfortable working with multiple pieces of performance!

Eve Riot will be taking on Sultry and Floorwork this Monday - so come dance with us! Eve Riot (they/them) is a performer with an eye on breaking down the basics, making moves accessible and understandable, and a joy for unhinged descriptions.
Come enjoy some fun music and a positive atmosphere while working on your craft!
