Get Stage Ready (Spring 2019)

You know the choreography, your costume is complete, and now it's time to bring it all together for the stage! Specifically designed for students who have completed G1-2, this final course in the series focuses on performance preparation, entering and exiting the stage, and dealing with jitters. Get Stage Ready (G3) is the final connection between choreography and costume, the ultimate dress rehearsal and confidence boost!

NOTE: Get Stage Ready G3 is required for those who plan to perform the group number in our Spring Student Showcase.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
Gina Louise has found great joy in teaching the art of burlesque since 2005. Her warm and engaging teaching style welcomes all students, no matter what their background. A Minneapolis cabaret artist known for creating innovative events and ensemble performances since 2003, Gina is a producer, emcee, soloist, choreographer, and instructor. Of all her roles onstage and behind-the scenes, teaching is her favorite! Ms. Louise brings a penchant for classic glamour, a twist of kitsch, and a bit of the avant-garde to her projects, including workshops, festivals, fundraisers, and cabarets. She is the founder of The Minneapolis Burlesque Festival, The Ladyslippers, The Emporium of Frolics & Romps, and Kiss of Fire. She originated the Best of Midwest Burlesk Festival and The Peacock Showgirls, and was a founder of the award-winning Lili's Burlesque Revue. Gina has been honored to perform at The Burlesque Hall of Fame and stages across the Twin Cities.

ABOUT TWIN CITIES BURLESQUE ACADEMY:
The TCBA, the first school in the region specializing in the art of burlesque, was founded by Ophelia Flame and Gina Louise, who have been performing together since 2003 and teaching workshops since 2005. The belief that there's a bit of showpony in all of us is the drive behind their mission: to teach burlesque technique, performance, and history while encouraging self-expression and body confidence. The Academy also offers performance opportunities, bachelorette parties, and special events. All are welcome!
