Tuesdays, January 19-March 16. 6:30-9:30. Week off TBA. 6:30-9:30 PM. 8 Weeks. $210 You've seen this old-fashioned theatrical form of striptease on the stage or screen and you're secretly dying to try it yourself, aren't you? Don't be shy! You don't have to go it alone. In this Women Only class, Lady Miss Iris will train you in the arts of burlesque goddesses of yore, from dance steps to costume crafts. She'll coach and support you as you develop your stage persona and very first routine. This course is perfect for women of any shape, age, size, or shade who have some performing experience. Lady Miss Iris performs in rock clubs, theaters, galleries and ballrooms from As220 to Worcester, the Magdalena International Festival and the Great Boston Burlesque Expo. Providence Monthly, The Boston Herald, and Fox News Boston have all featured her clever & charming work. She also coordinates talent for Jingle Belles & A Few Balls every year. The Lady's mild-mannered alter-ego, Amy, wrote and performed in The Thing that Ate My Brain...Almost as a Resident Artist at Perishable Theatre (RAPTor).
