What people are saying about Anna’s pin-up posing workshops!

“Can’t even begin to say how amazing today’s workshop with Anna Fur Laxis was! Tons of tips, tricks, confidence boosting and awesomeness. LOVED IT!”

“Anna is pure grace, beauty and elegance personified. These qualities came through this entire AWESOME workshop as she shared her many insights into how to be confident on camera. Anna shared not only practical ways to perform in front of the camera, but also about more technical aspects and how to get into character. I learnt so many invaluable tips and ideas that I would never have thought about before attending this course, it has most certainly increased my confidence and got me happily posing away in front of a camera. It was also fabulous and fun.”

“Anna Fur Laxis is a wonderful teacher, kind and patient. Her advice proved invaluable, and her understanding of lack of confidence was sweet ad lovely. I’ve learned about technical aspects of photography, lighting, and a makeup trick I never knew! I can only say that I wish I could take more classes and workshops with her, as she is clearly a mine of information, fun and friendliness”



7.30pm in the Shakespeare pub, Gibralter Street, Sheffield, S3 8UB.

10th July 2012.

£20 per person, a limited number of spaces are available in this Workshop, therefore only advance bookings will be accepted.

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.

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.

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.
