Strip Sexy - Burlesque Striptease Salon
In this very popular, two-hour class with burlesque legend and striptease queen - Goodtime Mama Jojo, you will learn the essential elements of this seductive art-form, gain confidence, and have fun. This class is suitable for non-performers and performers alike.
Mama Jojo will teach you: The power of eye contact and facial expression, classic burlesque-dance moves, the artistry of removing clothing with emphasis on “the tease”, many tips and tricks from her 47 years of experience in burlesque, and of course, how to perform a choreographed, stylish and sexy striptease routine!
The required clothing is a front-opening garment with a sash or tie (e.g. a wrap-around dress or a lightweight dressing gown etc.) a back fastening bra, TWO pairs of knickers (this way you learn how to remove them without having to be completely naked) and shoes that you are comfortable dancing in (preferably smooth leather or patent – not suede or with buckles.) Please note – we do get bare-breasted in this class, but you can wear pasties/nipple covers.
Teasetimonials
Meeting Mama Jojo was
a pivotal moment in my life; not only did she teach me the language
and vernacular of burlesque, she made me
fall in love with it. Throughout my career she has supported me,
and I never stop learning from her. The contemporary burlesque
scene owes a debt of gratitude to this powerhouse of a woman. She
truly is our British burlesque
legend!

If you've ever literally wanted to strip away body angst, tension and years of stress in the city, a class with Jo will do just that and more. In a just an hour or two, I discovered the ability to connect with my sensuality, and to use muscles I didn't think I had, but most of all I felt an enormous sense of freedom and playfulness - but the natural kind that isn't bought on by ten double vodka's on a Friday night. Jo teaches with the most enormous clarity and fun and her lessons will connect you with yourself, release stress in your mind as well as your body, and unlike most Aerobics classes, you'll want to carry on practising when you get home!

Hi Jo,

Lots of Love

What a fab experience! I didn’t think I could be sexy. I was terrified of being crap at it and everyone laughing. This was SO unthreatening! Mama Jo is incredibly inspiring and made me and everyone feel at ease. Sophie – 26
Jo – I have told all my women friends that they should do this class whether they are confident or shy, can dance or not, want to do it for themselves or for a partner…. You create a witty, fun environment in which every woman can look at herself and play; wow, what a treat. It can’t be beaten. It really was an inspiring and liberating experience. I know I’ll be back in your classroom again and I can’t wait. A huge thank you. Love, Mary-Jane 44
