2026-10-04 14:00 - 16:00 | Orlandos Dance Studio, Gladbacher Str. 29, Cologne, NRW, 50672, Alemania
This workshop invites you to explore burlesque not just as performance, but as a language — one you get to speak on your own terms.
Moving from the inside out, we’ll work with the core tools of burlesque: tease, tension, control, humor and expression — and how to use them with intention.
You’ll learn to read the room, feel your audience, and use that awareness to sharpen your artistry.
This is burlesque through the female gaze — grounded, intentional, and unapologetically yours.
