Burlesque Fan Making

Made famous by Sally Rand with her 6 foot wide, luscious white ostrich feather fans swirling about her legs like a glorious ball gown, fan dancing is one of the most iconic, graceful and beautiful of the burlesque arts... and one of the most often requested subjects in burlesque classes! But where can aspiring showgirls get their satin-gloved hands on a pair without breaking the bank? In this Burlesque Fan Making and Embellishment Workshop, Bombshell Betty will demonstrate techniques for making burlesque fans including many alternative materials and construction techniques.

Retro Hair Styling

Learn quick and easy ways to look like a Film Noir screen goddess! As a follow up to the short teaser class at the Tease-o-rama daytime convention class, this class will go into depth on how to create fabulous period looks for yourself. Bombshell Betty often styles hair for the Pinup Workshops and Photoshoots as well as for Burlesqueteer performances.

Cancan Dancing and Flexibility

Bombshell Betty Dance has teamed up with local dancing diva, Lauri Costigan, a former choreographer and dancer for San Francisco’s own Le Cancan Bijou, to present a Cancan Dancing and Flexibility Workshop. Starting off with a ballet warmup specially modified for cancan dancing, we will then progress into traditional cancan kicks and poses, traveling steps and stationary moves, kick lines, petticoat manipulation and the art of flirting.

Basic and Advanced Pastie Making

Now you too can benefit from the experience of burlesque stars of yesterday and today to master the hottest accessory since false eyelashes! Make your own burlesque pasties (AKA "nipple tassels") to match every oufit! Fun on and off stage - try them in the bedroom for some sexy silliness!

We here at Bombshell Betty Dance are offering our first pastie making workshop since 2005, and we've made a lot of new developments in pastie design since then. In this workshop, we will cover:

- Various materials and construction techniques.
- Tassel insertion and other structural embellishments.
- Using sequin tape, rhinestones, fabric and other surface treatments.
- Finishing techniques to make the pasties last.
- Various pastie application techniques.
- Techniques for getting those tassels twirling!
