Burlesque Fan Dance, Poise & Performance Workshop - Sheffield

The Velvet Burlesque™ - Fan Dance, Poise & Performance Workshop - Sheffield (27.9.2026)

.

Join multi-award-winning choreographer, teacher, performer, and producer Lara Gothique of The Velvet Burlesque™ for a glamorous, expert-led afternoon exploring the art of fan dance, beautiful movement, poise, performance, and classic burlesque tease.

.

Designed as an accessible introduction to working with open silk dance fans, this 2.5-hour workshop will explore:

- Fan placement and beautiful body lines
- Sweeping movements and fan pathways
- Poses, shapes, and silhouettes
- Framing the face and body
- Conceal and reveal
- Slow, controlled movement
- Walking, posture, poise, and stillness
- Musicality and timing
- Confidence, stage presence, and performance
- Choreographed fan dance combinations

.

No previous dance, burlesque, or fan experience is required - complete beginners are very welcome, alongside regular dancers who would like to explore something different.

Everyone attending receives a pair of silk dance fans to work with throughout the session - and they are yours to take home afterwards!
