UNLIMITED Online Classes from £10 a month!

by Burlesque Chair Dance Leave a Comment

With the government having closed all pubs, clubs, leisure center’s and social gatherings for the foreseeable future, we’ve moved our Burlesque Chair Dance classes online! We estimate these government restrictions will be in place for at least 3 months (12 weeks minimum) so, you can all keep on dancing from home – we’re even welcoming new dancers!

All you need is a chair, a dance space of approximately 1.5-meter square and an electronic internet device (laptop/iPad/Phone).

Chair hire is available in certain areas at no extra cost; however, we do require a 12-week payment in advance (minimum £30) as we anticipate being unable to recover our chairs until the coronavirus debacle has passed. It’s first come first served for chair hire so please act quickly!

The cost of our online classes start from just £10 for 4 weeks and is unlimited! You can join as many classes as you choose from just £2.50 a week! We require payments in advance every 4 weeks, feel free to pay for a block of 4, 8 or 12 if you find it easier to budget.

As this is only a temporary situation there is NO CONTRACT, you sign up month by month with no sign up or cancellation fee!

To find out more, ask questions or to sign up please contact us via email: info@burlesquechairdance.co.uk

Tell us where you live so we can match you up with your local instructor, that way you can keep attending classes if you want to when the nation returns to normal!

News from the Isle of Wight!

by Burlesque Chair Dance Leave a Comment

Hello beautiful ladies…..I’m just popping on to say hi all the way from the beautiful Isle of Wight, we maybe a small island but by god we’ve taken it by storm! Let me share our news with you all……a few months ago the charity Wessex Cancer Trust announced their crisis appeal on the news, to raise £600,000 by 31st January or face closure…..Harry Rednapp jumped on board as an ambassador and publicly announced his promise to help with the campaign, as the charity is close to the heart of a lady who attends one of my classes we just had to do something! So we all rallied round and put together in a matter of weeks our second Burlesque-athon. Myself, Amanda Cooney and Vicky Fisher (instructors) organised the dancing aspect and the the amazing Jade Lawrence and Sarah Dann took the reins on the publicity side of things, arranging stalls, cakes etc, we even had our very own BCD®️ photographer Laura Holme who not only took part in the dancing but jumped in and out to take all the fantastic photos too! We had the fabulous Marilyn opening the event aka ‘Foxy Faux Fur’ Drag extraordinaire, Tony Dye our fabulous Butler in the Buff…. With approximately 40 ladies taking part it was certainly a day to remember…..and we raised a massive £2273.75 for Wessex Cancer Trust.

Lorraine the events manager for fundraising from Wessex thanked us all personally by attending our class so we could proudly present the cheque to her and the excitement did not stop there as she invited me as a special guest to go and meet Harry Redknapp at an exclusive Wessex meet and greet, so Harry could thank the fundraisers in person, only downside is I wish I could of taken all the girls but sadly this was not possible.

A BBC Radio Solent presenter paid one of my classes a visit recently as she was very intrigued as to what we get up to in class…..Melanie came and interviewed a few of our ladies and chatted to me then audio recorded some of the class in action, so hopefully I will be able to post the link up soon once she has released it.

And finally…..The Cabaret Team! I am very excited to announce that we have our very own Cabaret Team, after much stress and hair pulling under the expert guidance of Boss Lady Donna we have BCD®️ IOW Cabaret Team, with a blend of talented ladies who have shown true commitment, determination, sass and the ability to perform to a very high standard. So if you want to add something different to one of your events then give me a shout, available for bookings now, but be quick as 2020 diary is filling up!

Sending you all my love and sass xxx

Hertfordshire!

by Burlesque Chair Dance Leave a Comment

Royston and Letchworth ladies had their first classes yesterday, and had a really good giggle with Lady Marmalade. Thanks to the Letchworth ladies for joining me and Gitching your Dadas jiggling.

Thursdays in Herts are now Burlesque filled with classes at the Coombes Centre, Royston, 5:30pm; followed by Mrs Howard Hall, Letchworth at 7:30pm

As a newbie instructor myself, a little bit about me, I have been involved in dance for too long to admit and love an opportunity to wiggle all that I have! I am a proud curvaceous lady and I am a sucker for Burlesque, the look, the moves, the music.
I love to travel and am always take the opportunity to immerse myself in the dance scene, whether that be salsa in Rio, or Reggaeton in Roatan. Music and dance is in my heart and soul.

I am a scuba instructor by day, which is amazing, but not as glamorous as it looks in the pictures, Burlesque Chair Dance affords me the luxury of getting made up and looking fabulous which a wetsuit just can’t do.
I can’t wait to meet you all at classes, to dance like everyone is watching!

Ruby Valentine xx
