What is Glam & Tonic?
Introducing The Festive Fling. Our immersive 9-week Burlesque experience where you’ll learn a complete group routine AND, if you’re feeling a little extra inspired, you have the option to develop your own solo performance to present at our final show at Flow State Distillery in Torquay (December 5)
This isn’t a casual drop-in class where you pop in for a week and disappear. You’re signing up for an entire experience - 8 weeks of immersive learning, creating, experimenting and building your routine together, followed by our rehearsal week and weekend show at a gorgeous cocktail bar.
Along the way, we’ll explore Burlesque technique, musicality, posture, stage presence, characterisation, tease, reveals, costuming, choreography and storytelling. We’ll play with classic Burlesque elements and props, with plenty of room to explore and develop your own style with our mentors.
You’ll have the option to take everything you’re learning and start developing your own solo, with guidance and rehearsal support along the way. Private tuition available to help create your piece,
This experience is for complete beginners right through to seasoned performers. Burlesque is all about embracing your own body, style, building confidence and most of all expressing yourself.
