Previous/Upcoming Offerings:Let’s let our inner showgirls out to play in the next few months with a dance workout filled with shimmies, shakes, and sparkle fingers to music from Broadway, Cabaret, Burlesque and old movies. Coy, outrageous, or just plain silly, the simple to sophisticated choreographies will polish your personal shine. Whether you’ve danced professionally or just in front of your mirror, this is a chance to kick up your feet (literally) in a playful, not performative, hour-long dance workout, taught by a fabulously aging beauty queen who has danced on stage with fruit on her head. For all ages, genders, and dance experience. ~ Live Classes Online (during lockdowns) ~Free classes with love offerings. Click images for playlist. Sometimes I even read Jitterbug Perfume! (From whence the name.) ~ DANCE PLAYSHOPS ~Contact KRS-10 about a dance playshop for your community, place of work, or organization! 90-minute Dance workouts on a theme; learn something new between moments of sweet sweet sweat!
