2011-07-17 Putting the Tease back in Striptease with Katherine Lashe
Times have changed, let's go back to when how you took it off was more important then the end result. Burlesque is about the journey, not the destination. Please bring an oversize button down shirt or overcoat, a skirt you can pull down over your hips and a back clasp bra that you can wear and take off over your bra or t-shirt you will leave on. Please wear tights, leggings or other fitted clothing that can go under your skirt if you are not comfortable stripping down to your panties. Heels are encouraged, but not required, for this class.
