Why a burlesque class works for a girls trip

Everyone gets to be a bit dramatic.

Somebody in your group walks into every room like there’s a spotlight on her. This is her class.

Burlesque is mostly about confidence: the walk, the look over the shoulder, the slow glove. Usually an instructor teaches a short routine in small pieces, and in a typical beginner class nobody takes anything off.

The friend who rolled her eyes at the idea is the one asking for one more run through.

A little sass, a lot of laughing and a routine you’ll never perform for anyone else.

What a burlesque class is like

Walk it, pose it, own it.

A burlesque class usually means an instructor, a studio and a short routine built from a few signature moves, with props like gloves, boas or a chair depending on the studio.

  1. The walk.

    Shoulders back, chin up, and somebody already overdoing it.

  2. The moves.

    A hip, a look, a slow reveal of absolutely nothing.

  3. The routine.

    Everyone together, then the dramatic final pose.

  4. Three friends in sequin dresses laughing in front of a pink sofa and disco balls

    Then make it a weekend.

    Book it, then pick a girls weekend in your city, with somewhere to stay, the food, the drinks and where to next, already in an order that works.

What kind of girls group a burlesque class suits

The ones who love a bit of drama.

It suits the friend with a feather boa in her wardrobe for no clear reason, and the one who needs reminding how good she is.

The dramatic ones.

A class built around the big entrance.

The ones who need a confidence boost.

Burlesque is mostly attitude.

The dress up crowd.

Gloves, boas and something sparkly, if the studio has them.

Every age at the table.

From the twenty somethings to the friends who’ve been to every birthday since school.

A milestone birthday.

A routine the whole group can be dramatic about.

Friends from different chapters.

Nothing bonds a group like a synchronised hair flip.

Real girls trip reviews

In their own words, exactly as written.

Three young women taking a selfie on a night out in the street

Not tacky. Not "girls just wanna have fun" cringe. Not trying to turn us into influencers.

Just a very, very good weekend with my friends.

Thank god.

My friends response when I sent the option through was literally "yep this is us".

That was all I needed.

A dance class, or a whole girls weekend

Strike the pose, then keep going.

Plenty of groups book a burlesque class and have a brilliant hour. Then the gloves come off and everyone heads off in different directions.

A My Ultimate weekend is the whole thing in one booking: somewhere to stay, something to do built in, the food, the drinks and where to next, so the day turns into a weekend together.

Somewhere to stay, already in it.One living room for the getting ready, the debrief and the morning coffee.
One front door at the end of the night.Everyone heads home to the same place.

Burlesque class girls trip questions

Asked a lot, answered here.

Still deciding? See what pairs well with a burlesque class, or pick your city and see the weekends.

Can we do a burlesque class on our girls trip?

Yes, book it separately and pick a girls weekend in your city to build the trip around. A good fit: pole dancing in Melbourne and Sydney and a male revue show in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.

What happens at a burlesque class?

Usually an instructor teaches a short routine built from a few signature moves, sometimes with props like gloves or a chair, then the group puts it together.

Do you have to take anything off?

Not in a typical beginner class. It’s about the moves and the attitude, but check with the studio you choose.

Do you need to be able to dance?

Not for a beginner class, where an instructor usually starts from the very first step.

How much are the weekends?

The weekends shown start from $399 per person, with somewhere to stay included. Accommodation can cost more on busy dates such as school holidays, so we confirm the price for your exact weekend when you check availability.

How many of us do we need?

Six for each of the weekends. Fewer than that? Let us know how many of you there are. We cater for groups of many sizes.
