We craft these series to be approachable for new dancers and enjoyable for more experienced performers.  We've had Teasettes who have never been on stage before, and those with years of experience.  These acts focus more on expressing your inner sass and teaching Burlesque Basics, than on intricate movement. 

That said, there's an expectation that everyone practices the routine outside of class, asks for help when they need it, and brings their best to the stage.

Since this is limited to a set number of people, each registrant is holding a slot for themselves that no one else can take.  If Life gets wild, please contact us.  We can likely fill your slot if notified BEFORE the series begins.  If we can fill your slot, we'll refund you the series cost, less $30 to cover credit card costs and our time contacting other dancers. 

There are NO REFUNDS after the series begins.

To start with, an open mind and positive attitude toward learning and working within a group.  Also water and any snacks you need to stay fueled during class meetings.

If the series asks for dance shoes, bring them to every class as soon as you have them. Dress in layers of well-fitting, easy to move in clothes.

If you plan to perform, it's best to get the Costume Pieces as quickly as possible, especially the top layers that will be peeled off.  Allow as much time as possible for custom pieces.  We'll email you the complete list upon registration, and you can email us if you have further questions.

We prefer everyone to be in every class because this is a group act and missing impacts everyone.  If you have a major work or family event, we get it.  If you know you'll miss 1 class, email the instructor so they're aware of that.  Planning to miss more than 1 class could impact the experience and performance for everyone, so please join the Waitlist for a future series.

Arriving 10 minutes or less late because you're coming from work, or another important life thing, can be managed, but please email Eva to discuss it first.  Being consistently late due to lack of time management is not acceptable.

DO NOT attend if you're ill, just email the instructor.

If you miss a class, we expect you to practice with the videos at home and keep up with the costuming so you can rejoin the next class easily.

The Big Fun!  

Here's the breakdown of the evening:
6:00pm Call Time -- You must be at Mission Theater so that you can dress for Tech.
7:30pm Tech -- Be in costume and shoes (if applicable), with MakeUp & Hair Ready.  Your instructor will take you through the routine at least once.  Following practice, you will pose for photos with our photographer.
7:45pm House Opens -- This is when people are let in to be seated.  You can visit with your Friends, Family & Fans or get in our photo booth -- we recommend wearing a robe or some sort of cover-up so that you don't give away the surprise of the act.
8:45pm -- All performers Backstage

9:00pm Showtime! -- Teasettes open our Showcases.  After performing, you're welcome to sit with your people.  

11pm-ish Curtain Call -- When the show ends, all performers are called back on stage for Curtain Call when we'll pose for photos by our photographer and the audience.

12pm Hard Out -- Everyone affiliated with the Showcase and all their belongings must be cleared out of the venue.  We usually head to a nearby bar for a post-show celebration.
