I recently received a couple of comments on an older post, Burlesque Class, so I am bringing up this topic again.

If you are toying around with the idea of getting into the Seattle burlesque scene, a good way to meet people in the burlesque community and get your start as a performer is by taking a burlesque class.  If you're not interested in becoming a burlesque performer, you can simply take a class for fun and add a little spice to your life.   Everybody will take away something from a burlesque class, whether it's finally feeling comfortable in your own skin, or learning how to do pin-up pretty hair and make-up.

I have mentioned Miss Indigo Blue's School of Burlesque in a recent post, I know people who have taken the class and have loved it, so there is one option for you. 

It was recently brought to my attention that there is another school of burlesque in Seattle, Old School Pin-Ups Presents:  Trixie Lane's Kindergarten of Burlesque.  This is a 5 week course where Trixie Lane, a long time professional burlesque performer and entertainer, coaches students how to create an audience ready performance including hair, costuming, make-up, stage presence and all of that fun stuff, but also how to promote yourself as a performer.  Trixie only allows 6 students to enroll at a time so she can give each student the attention they need.  Here is the part that really excites me:  they do professional pin-up photography!  That is SO cool!  A pin-up photograph of yourself could be a very romantic Valentine's Day gift.  You can view samples of some of the pin-ups, and, wow, those are some great pictures. 

If you want to get a glimpse of the result of Trixie Lane's Kindergarten of Burlesque, you can check out the next class recital on February 20 at the Rendezvous Jewel Box Theater at 7pm, tickets $10.   Trixie informed me that she generally starts a new class every 2 months and the next will be sometime around the 24th of March. If you are interested in finding out more information, you can contact Trixie Lane.
