Leeds Burlesque

I am currently in the middle of classes with the renowned Bella Besame and I am having the most fantastic time! It’s about an hour until tonight’s class and I am full of excitement. They are the perfect end to a stressful day of work.
This class offers ladies (…and gentlemen) the opportunity to learn the basics and not so basics of burlesque. It caters for a range of levels and is an all round good experience. The classes range from stocking removal to nipple tassel classes. The first few classes are used to cover dance basics to set you up for a flourishing burlesque career.
Whether you want more confidence, you want to feel sexier; you want to be the next Dita Von Teese, these classes really are for anyone,
As Rachael explained, classes are £12.50 a pop and seeing as you are being taught by the best in the North this price is very reasonable. I have found it an expensive hobby, as I always have to buy stockings, gloves, dressing gowns etc. But I know in the long run this will really be beneficial. All the girls in the class have been fabulous and I look forward to future lessons. What lady doesn’t want to feel sexy and confident? I highly recommend these classes to you ladies.
Only advise is, join the Facebook group for updates and get in whilst you can, classes fill up very fast!

Leeds Burlesque is taught in The Subculture club by Miss Bella Besame. It was created two years ago by Leeds Burlesque performer, Cecilia Rouge, when she felt the people of Leeds had nowhere local to go to learn how to perform Burlesque.
Starting with a one off £30 fee then £12.50 for each class after (a block of around 9) it may seem a little pricey. However, I don’t think you can put a price on the confidence you feel after your performances in front of your group!
Bella is an amazing teacher with a laugh dirtier than an ashtray. She instantly makes you feel at ease as she teaches you the basic moves to burlesque and helps you make up a routine.
Try this out if you want a confidence boost or just a good giggle with a few like minded ladies.
