Week 1:
Burlesque overview
This class will be a review of some of burlesque style fundamentals

Week 2:
Lyrical burlesque
Learn how to draw out emotion and interact with your audience using lyrical movement in your burlesque routines

Week 3:
Floor transitions
Floor work is beautiful, but sometimes getting down to and up off of the floor in your act is something challenging to unlock. This class will go over multiple ways to get down to and get up off of the floor that will leave you feeling graceful and confident.
***This class requires knee pads. Modifications can be made for those with knee injuries***

Week 4:
Sensuality in burlesque
This class will go over ways to incorporate sensuality into your routines, and incorporate floorwork. Learn how to fake flexibility and other illusions! Bring knee pads!

Week 5:
Tension and release
In this class we’ll cover how to use pauses effectively, how to create anticipation and tease in your routine, and how to use a few extra seconds to bring your routines from good to phenomenal. Prepare to feel vulnerable in the best of ways.

Week 6:
Posture and body awareness in burlesque
Learn how to hold your body in your movement to convey strength, power and confidence and get the amazing photos you want on stage. We’ll go over the ways to carry yourself that will allow you to embody the stage presence that wows your audience.

Week 7:
Neo/Classic burlesque
For those who have seen me perform, you know that I love to play with and blend both of these styles. In this class we’ll cover some effective exercises to fuse together the best elements of both classic and neo burlesque and go over some of my favourite movements.

Week 8:
Put a bow on it!
Let’s tie together all of the things you’ve learned over the past 7 weeks and celebrate!

***Notes***
Please advise me of any injuries to be aware of before class so I am able to plan accordingly and modify movements as required.

Proper footwear is required for this class – this can be character shoes or jazz shoes.

If you arrive late to class, you must warm yourself up to minimize chances of injuries. Cool downs are equally important to stay in class for as it will prevent you from injuring yourself after class.

Diving deeper into the Soul Seduction series, you are invited to embody your heArt through creating a prayerformance from the depth of your soul.

>Are you ready to bring your truth on stage to an audience?

>Are you ready to understand how to work with stage energy?

>Are you curious how media presence can be a tool for transformation?

>Are you ready to create a prayerformance offering for the world to see?

In this class, we will combine embodiment practices with performance technique in a safe container for you to receive and remember the power and potential that you are, both on and off the stage. You are encouraged to create a prayerformance that is intended to be shared in two special ways: A debut showcase, and a powerful video / photography event.

In Soul Seduction Part 1: The Art of Burlesque and Prayerformance, we collectively learn the important aspects of Primal energy, Intimacy, Sensuality, Sexuality, Seduction, and Prayerformance. Part 1 of this series is focused on reclaiming these energies for yourself, so that you know how to utilize them in every aspect of your life.

Soul Seduction Part 2: Your Story on Stage takes the inner reclamation into a new layer of opportunity where you will learn how to create a debut number from the delicious depth of your soul. Together, we will fuse all of the aspects of Part 1 into a unique prayerformance opportunity which will be showcased for your friends and family to see you in the fullness of your expression!

>>Do I have to take Part 1 before I take Part 2?
If you are an experienced performer and feel confident with the inner work you have reclaimed, you are invited to join Part 2 so that you can focus your presence on the outer work, on stage. All that is asked is for you to send Devaiya a Google form response expressing your intentions and it will be openly received. You are encouraged to look at Part 1 as an opportunity to dive deep into the core of yourself to reclaim power, purpose, and presence for yourself first and foremost.

>>What will I receive through this class series?
You will receive 12 hours of in-studio time to create a debut prayerformance number. Technique and Performance development will be a main focus, as well as outfit creation and visioning. Alongside 12 hours of studio time, you will be encouraged to practice and refine your vision at home so that you can bring your prayerformance to the stage in our December showcase, which will include professional videography and photography.

In light love, this offering awaits you!
