WEEK 1: NIGHT TRAIN
(Monday, October 23, 2017) Our most classic group routine. Showgirl styling, elegant movements, smooth transitions, and the flirty flutter of feather fans.

WEEK 2: HOT NOTE
(Monday, October 30, 2017) Fosse-inspired showgirl poise and elegance, clean and lean lines, gliding across the floor, group formations, "showgirl fingers"...... and tassel twirling!

WEEK 3: CHARLESTON
(Monday, November 6, 2017) Feathers will fly in this high-energy Jazz Age routine! We'll learn the Charleston, jazz steps, and feather boa work in Busby Berkeley-inspired chorus line formations. Very cute and sassy Flapper girl styling!

WEEK 4: SNEAKIN' AROUND
(Monday, November 13, 2017) Full of sass (ass) and attitude, it's our theatrical "breakup" routine! Smoldering eyes, slow burn sass and attitude, posing, "runway" strut, sharp movements, creative drama in small movements... and tassel twirling!

WEEK 5: BAD GIRLS
(Monday, November 20, 2017) Full of sass (ass) and attitude, it's our own "Bad Girls Modeling School" routine! Slow, deliberate poses and synchronized movements, 1950's styling. Channel your inner juvenile delinquent a la "Grease"!

WEEK 6: RUSSIAN STYLE
(Monday, November 27, 2017) "Boom Boom! Yeah!" The internet meme may have come and gone, but we can never get tired of this fun, high-energy, crowd pleasing dance! Also: Possibly the longest tassel twirling we've ever done in a group routine!
We're going to burn those Thanksgiving calories in this sexy cardio dance workshop!

Fishnet Follies School of Classic Burlesque was voted "Best School for Showgirls" in East Bay Express 2015 and an Editor Pick in Diablo Magazine Best of the East Bay 2011:
"Pint-sized performer and Fishnet Follies leader Mynx d’Meanor keeps things fun with her goofy sense of humor and easy directions. Don’t let her size fool you: This petite woman is a fiery, sensual vixen, well schooled in the art of the tease.D’Meanor focuses on the classic burlesque, with slow, elegant, and sophisticated moves. Along with teaching the choreography of two popular Fishnet Follies dance numbers, she coaches students on proper posture—creating long lean lines by emphasizing your body’s best assets through pinup-inspired poses—and how to move evocatively with a deliberate, sensuous grace." - DIABLO MAGAZINE
