Calling all would-be divas, harlots, dames, and hot mamas! (Sorry, boys, this one is for the girls only). If you have ever
fantasized about being a showgirl, either on stage or in the bedroom, you can have fun while learning to enjoy freedom of
expression, womanhood, and sensuality. Offered is private instruction (for 1 to 4 participants) at the New York School of Burlesque
by Jo Weldon, Angie Pontani, Helen Pontani, Julie Atlas Muz, or Peekaboo Pointe, all experts in the art of bump, grind, shimmy, and
shake.
Your instructor will provide the titillating tutoring you need to release your inner burlesque queen, including step-by-step
instruction on basic moves, developing stage-worthy confidence, sexiness, and presence, as well as advice on how to bring together
the fabulous makeup, costumes, pasties, moves, grooves, and attitudes of burlesque. In the private 2-hour experience, you will
learn the feather boa walk, the tantalizing glove peel, and the devastating bump 'n grind inspired by 40s burlesque sensation Bambi
Jones (tassle twirling is optional). Instruction is fun and suitable for anyone who wishes to learn the art of burlesque from a
skilled and gracious teacher.
She is the founder and headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque. You've seen her in Leonard Cohen's "Tower of Song" video
with Bono and U2. Jo first stripped on stage in 1978 in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, then advanced to featured performer. She
has studied the art of striptease for over two decades, headlining at strip clubs across the continent. In the 1990s she accompanied
some of New York's most innovative performance artists into the national neo-burlesque scene, where she developed the outrageous,
sexy, versatile persona of "Jo Boobs." She has performed at Tease-o-rama in San Francisco and Los Angeles and at each annual New
York Burlesque Festival. She produces as well as performs, presenting the infamous "Hubba Hubba Hey! A Burlesque Salute to the
Ramones" at the Bowery Poetry Club, and "Le Follies Fromage" at the legendary Coney Island "Burlesque at the Beach" Series. Jo
lectures at NYU on the relationship between historical and modern burlesque. She is the author of "The Burlesque Handbook."
