Burlesque Performance Troupe with Sassy Ray - Summer Showcases (May/June 2025)
May 6, 2025 - Jun 24, 2025
In this 8 week session, you will learn burlesque group choreography that you will have the option to perform in Sassy Ray's professional show at Sugar Run Bar in downtown Kitchener on Friday, June 27, 2025 AND/OR our in-studio Sizzlin' Summer Showcase on Friday, July 11, 2025. Sassy will guide you through learning the steps and polishing the group routine in a supportive group atmosphere.
 
PERFORMANCE COMMITMENT:
Performance is optional for this series. However, you will be asked after the first class to commit to performing or not, and in which show(s), so that Sassy can choreograph appropriately. If you choose not to perform, you will still be able to participate in the class and learn all the choreography but you may not be taught some formation work. If you do choose to perform, please note that you are committing to attending all sessions and rehearsals, learning the choreography, and performing in the show(s).
 
It is very important for the experience of everyone in the troupe that you commit to attending all sessions and the performance(s) that you committed to at the start of term. Sassy and the rest of your troupe are counting on you! If you have to miss any of the weekly sessions (due to illness or emergency), you may be asked to practice on your own time to catch up or other modifications might be made to your performance if necessary, on a case-by-case basis.
 
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT: Those who choose to perform will be expected to purchase either a pre-made costume or supplies to make your own costume as well as appropriate shoes (details to be given during the session). While every effort will be made to keep costume costs affordable (we love DIY and upcycling), it could still cost upwards of $100+. This cost is NOT included in the class fee and should be budgeted for when deciding whether or not to perform. Should a student have to drop out of the performance for any reason after the instructor or studio has incurred expenses for group costumes on their behalf, they will still be expected to reimburse these expenses.

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT ADULT CONTENT: Burlesque dance generally involves strip-tease elements and choreography and techniques taught may involve stripping down to bottoms and pasties. Sassy is a ferocious advocate of empowering people to love and celebrate their bodies, no matter their shape, size, age, or ability, and she creates a safe and supportive environment in which to explore this. That said, nobody who participates in this class will be pressured to go beyond where they feel safe in that exploration. You will always have the choice to opt out of or adapt any part of class or the choreography that you do not wish to participate in, without pressure or judgment.

PRICING Students may register using 8-Week Curriculum Class purchase options or using their membership curriculum class credits. Please see note about student commitment and additional investment in the Special Instructions section.
