Big Spender Group Choreo with Bitch Sassidy
Sundays February 22 & March 1 from 7:00-8:30PM
Sunday March 8 5:00-6:30PM
Connection Dance Studio

Led by Bitch Sassidy, this burlesque group series is an opportunity to learn a signature act choreography and perform as a group! We will focus on empowerment, precision, improvisation, confidence, and a combined physical-emotional build and release. This class is intended for students with some burlesque stage experience, we will not be covering basic movements. This choreography is intended for performance at a student showcase at the end of the semester.

Heels Tech and Choreo (Mini-Choreo Progressive) with Tina Bo'bina
Sunday March 8 & 15
7:00-8:30PM
Connection Dance Studio

Join Tina for 2 back to back Sunday Fundays! In this mini series we will blend foundational heels technique with thoughtfully crafted choreography to help dancers move with confidence and clarity. We’ll focus on alignment, weight shifts, and transitions while learning a dynamic phrase you can build on and make your own. Designed to support growth at any stage, dancers strut away with new tools, new movement concepts that they can carry into their future classes and performances.

You will need non-marking heels and water for class, and knee pads are an asset for some floorwork.

Roving Burlesque Workshop with Bitch Sassidy & Karla Marx
Sunday March 15
5:00-6:30PM
Connection Dance Studio

Bitch Sassidy and Karla Marx will focus on transforming stage performance to roving performance. It's more than stepping offstage, the performance delivery in a roving act must connect 360. Build on your toolkit to navigate unique situations that come with roving acts and audience play in this 90 minute class.

-->CONNECTION Dance & Creative Studios just off Blackfoot Trail and Portland Street with lots of free parking available. Main Entrance is located between two first floor businesses and there are two sets of stairs steps to the second floor. There are single stall washrooms on site. Our instructors will do their best to accommodate all students and their abilities/levels.
