San Francisco Bay Area burlesque for February 10-16, 2011

This is a special Valentine's Day edition of the weekly show round-up! It's been adjusted back by a day thanks to the flu continuing to make the rounds of the SFBR editorial offices, but we'll see how this new schedule works out.

There are lots of shows with a Valentine's theme happening this week. Barbary Coast Burlesque, Le Boy, and the Hubba Hubba Revue all have love-themed shows happening. There are also classes from Kristina Nekyia (previous post) and the Red Hots Burlesque School of Shimmy (previous post) that are timed to provide excellent opportunities to learn about sensual movement, with or without a partner. I sense that love is in the air!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
