Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What will I learn at burlesque class?
A: Our basic burlesque class teaches you the basics of getting comfortable in your body. Expect shimmies, bumps, grinds, and sexy moves that you can use on stage or in the bedroom. This class will push your ability to memorize and remember moves in 8-counts, while still allowing personal expression. Each class starts with a short warm-up, followed by drills, and then the largest portion of each hour is spent learning burlesque moves for a short, choreographed act that you can continue to rehearse at home.

Q: Can I sign up at any time, or should I wait to join until you start a new session?
A: Red Hot Annie has designed the class so that each week, there is new choreography. This means that students are welcome to join at any time - there's no danger of falling behind because each class is developed to drill classic moves as well as teach new ones. Each class is an opportunity to refine specific burlesque moves, regardless of your dance skill level.

Q: If I buy package of 4 classes for $60, do I have to take all consecutively?
A: No, you are not required to take all 4 classes consecutively. You should inquire further to see what the options are regarding class packages.

Q: What if I want to perform?
A: If you are interested in performing, you should inform Red Hot Annie. During class, she will give you additional guidance and instruction, and depending on your level of interest, opportunities outside of class that are useful to those who are interested in performing.

Q: What if I don't want to perform?
A: There is never any pressure to perform. Most of the students who take Red Hot Annie's basic burlesque class have no intention of performing, and take the class as a form of exercise and expression.

Q: Can I watch a class and see what it's like before committing?
