12 - 1 pm Dare to be sexy - With Miss Poison Ivory

  HOW TO CAPTIVATE YOUR AUDIENCE IN WAYS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH FANCY COSTUMES OR CLEVER THEMES
Do  you want to exude more confidence on stage or in your everyday life?  Are you looking to take your audience to the next level but are  unsure  that you have what it takes? This class is here to help. We  will  cover techniques on breaking out of a performance rut, attacking  choreography  and themes by exploring different sides of your “alter    ego.” Using  Archetype Cards and a pair of gloves, Poison Ivory will  teach  participants on how to approach and explore new character traits  and  movements, using easy exercises.  

** Participants should come prepared with a pair of gloves **

1:00 -:2:00 pm Slow Down, Heat Up! - With Miss Poison Ivory

 TAKING YOUR BURLESQUE ACT FROM EMBERS TO AN INFERNO

 Created  by Poison Ivory, Miss Exotic World 2016, this class is designed help  participants take their slow burn acts to the next level. Teaching  some her tried and true techniques, as well as a choreography portion   to put   those techniques into practice, participants will leave with a  new  found  confidence to create the slow burn act of their dirtiest  desires. Whether   you are new to the stage or a veteran of tease, if you are ready to  ignite the hearts of your audiences with the slightest of gesture,  but  still want to make them wait for it, then this class is  definitely for  you.

2:00 pm - 3 :00 pm We’re so Fake! What is Impostor Syndrome and how to combat it - With Poison Ivory

 We’re  so Fake is a lecture based workshop designed help participants  not  only recognize the signs of Impostor Syndrome, but learn tips and   tricks on how to overcome the feelings of unworthiness often associated with it. Developed by Poison Ivory, Miss Exotic World 2016, this course  was created as a passion project after dealing with her own   struggles with Impostor Syndrome. So whether you are new to the stage   or a  veteran  of tease, if you are ready to stop letting negative self   talk  get in  you way, then this class is definitely for you.
**
 Participants should come with an open heart and prepared for notes **
