Thread: Are there any Burlesque workshops run in Wales?

Is there any burlesque groups in Swansea?
Woo we should join forces and infaltrate Swansea!

Well I hope you enjoy the night! I hope the option of 'utterly crazy' fancy dress isnt putting people off. Will be exciting to see what people come as...
I might make a no face costume - guy from spirited away! Woo I'm all excited. what are you all dressing as?

If anyone is going to 'what the Butler saw' and wants to meet up it then let it be known, its would be good to meet some of the other Welsh members on here

Thanks very much =) I'm going to have a look at the site now. Thanks everyone it's been a great help x

The only trouble is that I'm moving to Lampeter soon to start uni even more cut off from society. I don't think there'll be any burlesque scene there, but I could make it back to Cardiff for classes well I'll just to some more research thanks again =D X

ah good old Hengoed ... you know the feild by cefn hengoed estate with the white pony. well i used to get drunk every weekend there when i was a young underager. ah bless. you made me remember the good old times.

Woo yes Lampeter is quite far away! and hard to get to!!! What you studying?

Woo those difficulties are being sorted! saw the council rebuilding the banking and the track today in Llanbradach so hopefully you can travel as usual too. oh seen as your local, did you hear about the armed robbery in philly today? people going crazy becuase of the credit crunch i till you!
Anyways I'm rambling, if you make it next week come over to me and Moonlight and say hello!

If anyone in the North Waes area is looking for a burlesque workshop should contact Scarlet Fever her website is - Home Scarlet will always consider travelling further south if you can get a group together

I'm running burlesque workshops in Pontypridd, South Wales.
The first workshop is on the 26th March, Burlesque for beginners & 23rd April. Regular classes have yet to confirm a date

I'm in Cardiff too, I am a real beginner, a burlesque virgin. I may well pop down to conwy road, but would love to pick up tips along the way with other people here.

MoB Academy are starting workshops in Cardiff very soon. Gypsy is away filming some sort of pop video at the moment, but she should be able to fill you in when she gets back.

That is the most exciting news I've heard in ages!!!!
