Learn burlesque in 2011 at the Hot Pink Feathers Showgirl Academy

It's a new year, and one of the Bay Area's hottest dance companies wants you to discover your inner showgirl!

The Hot Pink Feathers Showgirl Academy's classes will start as soon as this coming Tuesday. There are lot of classes from which to choose, from one-day workshops to full four-week classes. Choose the class based on your goals. Whether it's to try things out, or whether you want to perform with the Hot Pink Feathers in a show at the end of February, it's your choice!

If you plan on taking a lot of classes, you may even want to purchase an annual membership that will give you discounts on classes, practices, and costume handling fees!

Also, the Shanghai Pearl from Seattle will be a guest instructor at two workshops on January 15: DIY Showgirl and Comedy in Burlesque. You may have seen the Shanghai Pearl in the documentary, A Wink and a Smile. Whether you are a novice or experienced performer, this is a great opportunity to pick up some tips from one of the top burlesque performers in the world!

I've included class descriptions, registration information, and other pertinent details from Kellita of the Hot Pink Feathers below. If you have any questions, please contact the Feathers at hotpinkfeathers@gmail.com, or by phone at 415-398-7673. You many also visit their website at hotpinkfeathers.com.
