Girls, grab your fishnets, your corsets, your garters and your heels and be ready to get in touch with your inner DIVA. Leigh Torlage, dancer in the movie Chicago, creator of the Candy Girl Cabaret and resident choreographer at Maxine's HIdeaway, shares her expertise and talents with you to help you become the women that you always wanted to be. In Broadway Burlesque, you will learn to strut properly in your heels and gain confidence while having fun in a professional, supportive, girl-power atmosphere. This fast-paced class is filled with everything you need: a choreographed, sexy warm-up including floor stretching, sit ups & push ups, across the floor movement incorporating the techniques of "taking stuff off" such as gloves, shirts, coats and even skirts, and of course the choreographed routine that is always classy, always sexy, always entertaining and always fun.
