In this 8-week all-levels veil choreography series, you’ll learn a full group routine rooted in belly dance veil technique with a touch of burlesque attitude and stagecraft.

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.
