FAQs

Who can attend classes?

All genders, races, sizes and fitness levels are welcome! Anyone interested can attend fan dancing classes.  To register your interest, please email Jazida.burlesque@gmail.com

I’ve never done burlesque or danced before. Can I still join?

Yes! Anyone is welcome to enrol. Classes are range from beginner to an intermediate level. This means that while Jazida will still work with you to build up your skills, it will be your responsibility to keep up with the pace of the class (this may mean reviewing videos and practicing at home if you are a fresh beginner)

Do I have to perform and do I have to strip?

No! You are welcome to do whatever you are comfortable with. Performing is not compulsory for class attendees and how much you choose to reveal or not reveal is up to your own discretion. To enable effective rehearsals and training, it is expected that all people enrolled as part of Jazida’s Fabulous Fan Dancers (the professional performance troupe) will agree to perform.

Do I have to book in? Can I just show up to class?

All students must enrol for the classes they want to attend through the booking site at https://studiobookingsonline.com/flazeda/classcalendar

What kind of shoes do I need for class?

A lot of our classes will be done with bare feet (particularly when warming up and drilling new movement). We recommend being barefoot or wearing ballet flats when using van veils (as you can easily tear the silk if you wear heels).

Heels are welcome to be used, particularly for burlesque class and some of the feather fan classes. You can wear any heels that you feel comfortable in. However, we recommend wearing ballroom/salsa dance heels with flexible leather/suede soles.

Do I need to bring my own fans?

If possible, it is recommended that you bring your own props. However, Jazida can provide you with spare fan veils if you don’t have your own. Where you don’t have your own feather fans, Jazida has a very small collection available for loan, but also has plenty of smaller plastic fans which can be used to learn with.

You can buy your own fans online – for recommendations of where to get them please talk to Jazida or other fan dancers, as there are pros and cons to different styles and what is best for you will be unique.

How do I get there? Where do I park?

ACTION buses offer services direct to the Belconnen bus interchange, which is a 6 minute walk from the studio. This also a parking lots out the front of the studio building, as well as lot of street parking.

Can I book a burlesque hens party or a professional performance?

Absolutely! Jazida is happy to offer a range of exciting hens packages and performance options. For more information, please email Jazida.burlesque@gmail.com
