My fancy gym has a lot of different fitness classes and they’ve just added burlesque dancing. Here’s the description: “In this 45-minute dance class you will increase your flexibility, balance and coordination while bringing out your playful side. Learn a variety of movements and choreography that will unleash your inner confidence.”
I thought I might give it a try and blog about. After all, I’ve tried Zumba. I’ve also given a non-fitness burlesque class a try. See Sam has fun at body positive burlesque.
Diane and Catherine have blogged about burlesque too. See Building Confidence Through Burlesque (Diane Harper) and Burlesque: bawdy body positivity (Catherine Womack).
But I might not get a chance if these attendance numbers are anything to go by.
I looked at 8 am on Thursday and it looks like almost no one had signed up. Aqua fitness on the other hand? Fills up every time.
So I have an idea: AquaBurlesque!
Sexy water dancing.
No one will know if you get the moves wrong because you’ll be underwater.
I bet it would fill up fast.
