Where people learn how to perform in a Burlesque stylee.

Thinking back, it was kinda pointless putting the no option there, i'm only wanting to know who 'is' interested, to get an idea how many people would come along.

To give a little more info, we're looking at trying to get one of the UK's top Burlesque Performers up to run the workshop and we're trying to figure out if it's worth putting on.

*Lyndsey* · 30th March 2007, 05:01 PM

If you put it that way, then yes Id probably watch it/take notes haha!
From yr initial post I had it in my head it would be a bunch of ameatuers just fucking about, but if its a proper performer...why not!

Where you planning on holding such an event?

Well it depends on the numbers interested really, i mean, if there was a big enough interest i'd be looking for some kind of gym or hall, i don't know what facilities are available for that sort of thing, but i've started making calls and getting prices etc.

Club Noir, but i've not heard many great things about it, i'm looking at getting the UK's Ministry of Burlesque involved with this one.

Sweet, sounds good man.

Siglo in Edinburgh has a burlesque themed bar downstairs but I've never been in, don't know if they do shows or anything

I think having some sort of performance would be good asl ong as it's very professional and tasteful. Im not too keen on a workshop though the main reason being I expect it would be muchos expensive.
