Chair Dance Master Class Workshops With Paris Chantilly
A Confidence Boosting Burlesque Experience in Hull and Doncaster
Throughout June, Burlesque With Paris hosted two Chair Dance Master Class workshops led by Paris Chantilly. The workshops took place on 10 June at D’Angelos Dance Academy in Hull and on 24 June at Dunsville Community Centre in Doncaster.
These masterclasses offered our burlesque lovelies the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in burlesque in a safe and supportive environment, without the pressure of performing on stage.
Classic Burlesque Chair Dance Technique
The chair dance routine was set to the timeless Rosemary Clooney Sway and focused on classic burlesque technique. Participants learned elegant chair posture, leg lines, stocking peels, and shirt removal, all performed with poise and confidence.
The workshops explored how controlled movement and posture can create strong stage presence, while encouraging dancers to feel confident and expressive in their own bodies.
Confidence, Elegance, and Fabulous Energy
Both workshops were filled with excitement and enthusiasm. Our burlesque lovelies embraced the choreography with grace and style, particularly enjoying the stocking peels and playful shimmies that brought the routine to life.
By the end of each session, everyone left feeling confident, empowered, and fabulous, celebrating their bodies and loving the skin they are in.
Kind Words From Our Workshop Wonders…
Sugarboo - Hull Harlots & Hull Honeys
“Sexy, tantalising, teasing.. are just a few words I could use to describe the feeling when taking part in the chair dance workshop with Paris. Sultry music and great choreography led by a talented artist and teacher. I loved every moment of this workshop learning new skills amongst a group of gorgeous, supportive women. We giggled and laughed throughout! The steps were broken down into small bite sized sections and were easy to learn. Could not recommend this highly enough..”

“Master class chair dance was the first workshop I have taken part in with Paris. It was very inclusive allowing dancers with different abilities to partake. In this brilliant master class we learnt stocking removal as well as chair dance. This class also gave the opportunity to meet with likeminded people and have a really good time. I will be back for another workshop! I feel more confident than ever xxx”
