10 Week Burlesque Workshop Series

Join Nicole Gayatri (Madam Tanta Lizing) on a 10 week journey to develop a stronger sense of identity, and deeper connection to self.  We’ll be celebrating all bodies and building movement confidence/ stage presence through the art of burlesque in a safe, affirming environment.  Props and costume pieces will be provided to bring out your playful, sensually confident, and commanding burlesque presence.  Participants may also choose to perform in a Vaudeville-style Cabaret at the end of the workshop series.  

Nicole has been a professional performer and choreographer for 30 years.  She is passionate about helping people to shed their fears, to feel empowered and expressive in their bodies.  Nicole has been teaching the art of Burlesque, yoga, meditation, nervous system regulation, and empowerment workshops in NYC, Costa Rica, and at international festivals for over a decade.  She is excited to bring this 10 week series to GoArt and the local community.

Classes will be held each Tuesday, starting August 25th 7:30-8:30pm with Nicole guiding participants through a series of mini workshops. The studio will also be open for optional rehearsals on Thursdays 7:30 – 9:30pm.
