This was such a fun class. Before the class, Stephanie prepared mimosas for everyone. Stephanie is an excellent teacher, and I had such a great time learning new moves for a burlesque. I wish that this studio was closer to my house - I would love to take more classes there!

I really loved the class. I had a lot of fun learning to move my body in new and sensual ways during the class. The routine definitely helped me bring out my more sensual side. I definitely would take this again if offered.

My friend and I happened to be the only two that showed up for the class. We were nervous at first with the spotlight just on us two, but it turned out to be the best experience! Stephanie made us feel super comfortable and we essentially got a private burlesque class. Stephanie set the scene for the burlesque class, went over the dance step by step, gave us fun facts about burlesque throughout the time, and even let us record the full dance at the end. When we arrived she had champagne and beer ready to go and was very social and welcoming overall. It was super great experience! I would highly recommend for trying something new and getting out of your comfort zone!

Stephanie was amazing! We took the class as a birthday present for one of our friends and enjoyed it so much. Easy to learn steps and a whole lot of fun to preform. We will be back to take another class with this instructor.

The class was technically good. The instruction used the time efficiently and the steps were easy, but not too simple.
The class was EXACTLY one hour. It would have been nice to have a 1 hr 15 min class with a 10 min break in the middle with some time for socializing, or maybe having the teacher chatting/mingling with students.

I was a little nervous going to the class, because I didn't know what to expect, but it was SO MUCH FUN! Stephanie made the routine easy to follow and allowed us to incorporate our own styles. It was fun, a good way to let loose and get a workout in too!

I will go to any class taught by Stephanie! She's such a gifted teacher and amazing dancer! Her classes are accessible for all levels and SO much fun! Before my first class with her I was really nervous because I can be shy but the environment is so welcoming and positive - it just felt comfortable. Sign up for class, you won't regret it!

This class is so much fun! I've signed up for every burlesque class Stephanie has offered and I've had a great time at every single one. Stephanie is great about breaking down routines into manageable bits and she's great about answering questions of modifying the routine to fit each person. I will definitely keep signing up!
