Step into the spotlight with Burlesque Chair Dance: Technique & Choreography, created by Jo Weldon—New York City burlesque legend, performer, and Headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque. This isn’t just a chair routine; it’s your first masterclass in stage presence, sensual storytelling, and bold, graceful showmanship—all built around one of burlesque’s most iconic props.

The chair becomes your partner, your throne, your playground. Whether you’re new to performance or refining your act, Jo gives you everything you need to move with confidence, elegance, and magnetic allure—no prior dance experience required.

What’s Inside:

✅ Two complete choreographies
 • Romantic & Flirty: A slow, sultry routine dripping with classic burlesque glamour—think languid leans, arched backs, and breathy glances
 • Sassy & Playful: A faster-paced number packed with bops, bumps, grinds, and joyful energy that channels vintage pin-up charm with modern fire

✅ Technique that transforms movement into art
 • Precision body lines: torso angles, leg extensions, and foot articulation for statuesque elegance
 • Fluid arm pathways and seamless transitions that make every move look effortless
 • Expressive details: hair tosses, eyebrow lifts, and subtle gestures that sell the fantasy

✅ Beyond choreography—building your act
 • Burlesque costuming tips tailored to chair work
 • Foundational striptease technique (slow reveals, glove peels, stocking rolls)
 • Creative prompts to help you personalize your routine and develop your signature style

Why the Chair?

• It supports your body at any fitness level while amplifying sensuality
• Builds core strength, hip flexibility, and coordination—quietly preparing you for bigger stage feats
• Offers structure for beginners while leaving room for dramatic flourishes as you grow

Perfect For:

• Burlesque newcomers ready to craft their first full act
• Performers seeking polished, choreographed material with authentic vintage flavor
• Anyone who believes confidence is worn like sequins—sparkling, deliberate, and unapologetic

In Jo Weldon’s hands, burlesque isn’t just entertainment—it’s empowerment in fishnets. With warmth, wit, and decades of stage wisdom, she invites you to explore your allure without imitation… and leave the chair looking like you own it.
