Get ready to embark on a journey of fan veil technique, flow, and choreography!

In addition to learning a choreographed group fan veil routine, students will delve into fan veil anatomy and learn how to hold and manipulate fan veils with grace and precision. Some of the focus will be on basic movements and body framing, while exploring traveling and basic turns.

Striptease will be part of this act!

We kindly request that you refrain from wearing chain jewelry or any accessories that may snag or get caught on the silk fabric of the fan veils.

Level: Beginner/Intermediate

Please note: This class is ideal for folks who have a little movement experience under their shimmy belt! You do not need to have experience with fan veils, but it is not ideal for absolute movement beginners!

Students will also get:

  • A pair of fan veils to keep!

  • 1 free hour of studio time to use to practice their choreography. The hour must be used by May 19th.

Must satisfy at least one of the following prerequisites:

  • A Group Choreo series

  • A Burlesque Act Development series

  • Have taken at least 20 movement classes.

  • If you feel you have sufficient experience outside of the Philadelphia Burlesque Academy, please email us and tell us a little about that!

Expectations and Important Details:

Costume! Students will be required to supply their own costume pieces and shoes that align with given structure and colors, as well as add embellishments to a bra.

Rehearse! Students are expected to spend 30 minutes per week outside of class practicing their choreography. Their will be a video posted to a private Facebook group each week for reference!

All classes/ rehearsals are required! We know emergencies happen, but if you anticipate missing more than 1 class, please do not  register for this series. This is for your benefit!
