Polestars burlesque classes are for women who want to learn the basics of burlesque dancing and try something new. Our taster class includes posture and walking, floor work and facial expressions put together in a cheeky routine at the end of the class.
The burlesque dance lessons are fun and students should come prepared for a giggle. It is a great way to have a laugh with other like minded women who want to learn the art of seduction in a supportive and friendly environment!
Polestars Burlesque tasters are one-off, two hour sessions and cost £20.
Monday 15th September @ Myhotel Bloomsbury (Tottenham Court Road) 7-9pm
Wednesday 15th October @ Myhotel Bloomsbury (Tottenham Court Road) 7-9pm
Can-Can Tasters
Our taster sessions are for women who want to give can-can a go without committing to a whole course. It is a two hour session and costs £20. You will learn some basic can-can moves and finish by putting them together in an exciting, high intensity kicking routine!
We provide skirts in a variety of sizes. To add to the fun you might like to wear tops that match the theme (like corsets) or bring accessories such as feather boas or long gloves to really get you in the mood. We suggest that you don’t wear stilettos or particularly high heels as you will need to be stable on your feet.

Kt Coates ran the first pole class that i ever attended, so without her i doubt i would be doing this now. She puts pole dancing out there to the public more than anyone i know of. Her story is pretty incredible, pole dancing has been her life, its funded her building her own company and pole empire. She has overcome dyslexia to write emails, manuals and to make dvds on the subject. She is a pole model (i meant to write role model, but a pole model is so much more appropriate)to anyone who wants to pole dance seriously.
