January Peer Reviews

January Peer Reviews are here!! (6:15pm – 8:15pm)

Burlesque Peer Reviews are an opportunity to further develop or assist with the creation of both old and new routines! Hosted by Cherry Cheeks, this is an event for community and performer growth.

Join us with a routine in progress or one you want to build upon and receive honest feedback. This is a safe space for your creativity and growth while sharing honest questions about your choices and insights.

Don’t have something to workshop but want to be involved? Come on by with your feedback! Only have a concept or costume? Bring that too!

There are 6 spots available for performers to present their routines, so if you are interested in presenting, please message Cherry Cheeks to get your name on the list. All levels welcome. Workshopping available by a recommended $5.00 – $10.00 donation to help cover studio costs. We want burlesque education & growth to be accessible for everyone & not limited by finances.

Spaces are limited, so please PM Cherry Cheeks if attending, though last-minute drop in spots may open!

We look forward to seeing you January 19th at Wild Roots Dance Studio! ????

Wild Roots Dance Studio has a set of stairs to get to the studio. If mobility is an issue, please reach out to Cherry Cheeks and we will see how we can assist you.

Unleash the fullness of who you are through Soul Seduction. If you have ever desired a safe container for you to explore seduction, embodiment, sexuality, performance art, burlesque, and soulful connection, this class has been especially created for you.

From primal to passion, masculine to feminine, and the space between all duality, we come together to remember the core essence of what it means to be human, and how to translate this in everyday life, as well as performance art.

Prepare to get in touch with your body, heal your inner story, learn burlesque and performance techniques, and get seriously sassy while discovering your fullest expression of self. Let’s celebrate our masculinity, our femininity, and our androgyny together in a collective exploration of what Soul Seduction is all about!

Whether or not you want to perform, this series will create a new foundational relationship with yourself to understand the energy that all of us embody.

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.
