Fan Fatale: Bees Knees Edition with Jewelissa
Ready to give your fan veil flow a little extra flair?
In this 90-minute class, we’ll craft fan-tastic combos that fuse fan veil flow with burlesque dance, adding sensuality and playful accents to your movements. This class is perfect for those with fan veil or flow arts experience looking to deepen their connection to the dance behind the fans.
We'll start by refreshing foundational fan veil technique before building juicy combos that combine traveling steps, body framing, and fluid transitions. Along the way, you'll pick up tips on musicality and stage presence to help your fans become an extension of your expression.
By the end of class, you'll leave with a handful of signature combos and a choreography that not only flow but tease, ready to weave into your own routines and flow.
What to wear: Comfortable clothing you can move in. Heels are optional—but a little heel never hurts!
Level: Beginner/Intermediate..

Heels Technique for Stage Sunday May 3rd 11:30 - 1:00
This class is a full body training session structured to actually help you feel stable in your heels — on stage, at a wedding, or just crossing a room?
In this beginner heels technique class, we’ll strengthen your legs, core, and hips so you can walk, pose, and dance in elevated shoes without the wobble. Expect practical drills, confidence-building struts, clean turns, and simple choreography you can use anywhere you want to be seen.
No experience needed. Just bring your heels and your attitude. Pros you are more than welcome because going back to basics is always key to feel your strongest in your stilettos!
Showgirl 101 SUNDAY MAY 3rd 1:30 - 3:00
This class is for performers who want to move beyond the basics and build work that is polished, strategic, and unforgettable. We focus on the mechanics behind a stellar performance — not just the steps. Heels 101 is a great pre-req for this class but is not required.

- Elevated heels technique and stage command
- The five non-negotiables of an unforgettable performance
- Choosing and defining your burlesque character, musicality, and persona development
- Strategic choreography and costume conception that support your story and strengths
- Stage entrance, spatial awareness, and editing your presence
- Improv drills to strengthen organic performance instincts
- Business positioning to support your growth as a serious act
Expect focused training and practical act-building exercises you can immediately apply to your current or future number.
