However, over this past weekend, I was interested to find an article about Burlesque dance featured in the February issue of "Savvy" magazine. The magazine interviewed several burlesque studio owners and class instructors in the Minneapolis area to find out what sets this new exercise trend apart from other exercise and dance classes. Following are some of the quotes from that article that really resonated with me...
"Don't knock it until you try it."
"Expect a workout for mind, body and soul. And since body positivity is at the heart of burlesque, you might be surprised at not only your physical transformation - but your mental transformation too."
"It's all about owning what you have."
And finally a quote from my instructor...
"There is this amazing moment where they (the students) start to glow. I love performing, but what keeps me going is definitely just watching them blossom into even more amazing versions of themselves."
The article also pointed out that every performer needs to have a stage name....so I guess I better go and think about that now!
