Pin-Up Power

Send to a friend
Bring out your inner pin-up girl at a Burlesque dance class.

Bring out your femme fatale in this oh-la-la workout.

Intrigued by "sensual" workouts, but not the type to slide down a stripper pole?

We've found a way to work up a sweat, boost confidence and bring out your inner flirt: burlesque classes at Vaudezilla in Avondale.

The seasoned performers of this Chicago burlesque troupe teach weekly 90-minute basic burlesque classes that will help you get fit and tap into your naughty side.

After warming up, you'll spend the first half of class going over essential moves like the shimmy, bump, grind and twirl. Once those movements are mastered, you'll strut your stuff working on stage presence and choreography. You can drop in to a single class ($20) or go for an eight-week session ($140).

Feeling a little shy about learning the art of the old timey tease? The instructors create a comfortable, fun environment and you won't be asked to wear pasties to class (but fishnets and heels are welcomed).

We think that once you don your dancing shoes (no sneakers allowed) and hear that classic burlesque music, you'll have no problem bringing out your inner Dita Von Teese.

Peep a (NSFW!) Vaudezilla performance here. See the ladies shake it live--check out their upcoming events.

Va-va-voom.
