Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Course: Burlesque Lessons

*RECOMMENDED BY INTERNATIONAL BURLESQUE MAGAZINE, THE 'BURLESQUE BIBLE'*

Experienced burlesque performers Deadly Nightshade and Cherry Du Bois began the 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Course' in July 2011.  Deadly and Cherry began performing in 2007, and Deadly has been running 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque', a quarterly burlesque event since 2008. The pair's experience and knowledge in this field has led to them designing and teaching a very informative ten week Burlesque Course which is aimed at covering all areas of the art of the tease, from creating a stage persona and building confidence to lacing a corset correctly.

If you embark upon this ten week course, you will learn everything from posing and pouting to peeling and tassel twirling (for those who feel comfortable!) With a workshop to teach you how to create vintage hair and make-up, and one to teach you how to make your very own tassels all included in the price!

You can subscribe for the full ten weeks, or simply pick and choose which classes you would like to attend and drop into them* - please do let us know you're coming first though by emailing info@secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com.

Tutor - Deadly Nightshade

The LAST EVER 10 week Course will start on Tuesday the 30th April 2013 beginning at 7.30pm and ending at 9.00pm in the upstairs room at the Shakespeare pub, Sheffield, they will run consecutively on Tuesdays for ten weeks and will be priced at £10 each. You will receive a £10 discount if you block book all ten lessons with us in advance, making one lesson free.  This is a great idea if you would like to purchase this experience as a gift for a loved one. To book, or for any further information, please email info@secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com.

Tutor - Cherry Du Bois

"The Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque course is the perfect introduction to the world of burlesque. The wonderful teaching by Deadly Nightshade and Cherry Du Bois ensures that you learn the essential basics to build into a routine and their personal approach both reassures you and helps you perfect those tricky techniques. The atmosphere is intimate and fun. You can easily leave all your hang ups at the door and immerse yourself in the experience. It's not only a great place to learn but also a great place to meet like minded people and socialize. A class camaraderie soon forms providing the 'tongue in cheek' fun that burlesque requires. Anyone considering trying out burlesque should try out this class as it's the best value for money around!" - Tahlullah Manhatten, class member 2011.

*We do recommend you attend ALL lessons within this course for a fuller experience.

To book please email us.

THANK YOU!

Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque did the Musicals in style on Sunday 5th June 2011 and we would like to say a huge 'thank you' to everyone who helped us make the music...and burlesque...of the night!

We think that SotBB's first ever boylesque act went down a treat and we loved having Doc Le Roc amongst our performers this Sunday!  

Evie Farrah made her entrance to Secrets in a bird cage this time around and performed a plucky fan dance with beautiful blue feathers.  She later then landed her UFO on the SotBB stage and as "the top popped off, two disc like eyes appeared above the rim" and Evie emerged.  Evie the extra terrestrial showed us how a sexy silver burlesque alien can bring 'The War of The Worlds' to Sheffield!

Depravity Jane was our 'Sugar Daddy' as she payed tribute to 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' by lavishing candy upon you all and launching a very interesting new trick in how take her tights off using a table!  Yee Haaa!

Our Transylvanians hope you liked their take on the 'Time Warp' and encouraged you all to dance along!

Dante Powerhouse returned to Secrets this month with his beautiful and enchanting pianist Claudia Ingolstadt, they blew us away with their live performance of 'Natureboy' from 'Moulin Rogue'.

Mistress Mimi was mesmerizing as ever and SotBB were so happy to have her back on their stage after a whole year of being absent from the show!  What an entrance she made - singing 'Xanadu' on roller skates - she truly made the stage into her very own roller rink!  She then later appeared in a blonde wig looking smoking hot as she sang her rendition of Sweet Charity's 'Big Spender'!

Newbie SotBB performers Ruby Rose and Dahlia Dee showed us that not only can they dance, but they can sing too with their smooth rendition of 'All That Jazz' in a double dance number!

Our wonderful compere Mr Warren Peace kept you amused all evening with his long legs and high heeled shoes along with his constant abuse of 'Dave the virgin'!  And what an opening number he put together for our Musicals show, performing 'Money Makes the World Go Round' along with the gorgeous and talented Miss Suzie McCue as Cybil Waugh!  We loved it!

Huge thank you's to The Dollhouse and Mad Hatter's Cupcakes who both donated fabulous prizes to our raffle!  We are sorry that Imogen's Imagination could not make it and we hope they get well soon.

Thank you to our venue West Street Live, and to our wonderful DJ Vince Spitfire.  Big thanks to Anwar Suliman and Davey Smith our photographers, to Rachael Parkes who designed our 'Musicals' flyers, and to John Slater for filming the show and creating beautiful posters for our 'House of Horrors', which will be coming up in September.

 Last but not least, let us give a HUGE thank you to Scarlet Noir, Emily Dainty, Cherry Du Bois and Knickerbockerglory for being our glamorous cigarette girls, tending to the door all evening and choosing our best dressed guests!

...Right...I'm off for a lie down now so that I can recover from the hectic-ness of Sunday evening and prepare for our next show - 'House of Horrors'!

Don't forget that Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque are giving burlesque lessons this Summer and if you would like to find out more, please email info@secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com.

Much love,
