TASSELING AND ASSELING (Everybody Twirls)
Instructor: Jo "Boobs" Weldon, author of The Burlesque Handbook
and Headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque
Pasties are a unique part of burlesque costuming, and tassel-twirling is a unique element of burlesque movement! The history
of pasties and tassel-twirling is just the beginning of a class that will have you doing things you never thought possible!
We will work to find your unique ability and get you beyond the basic bounce. Learn how to twirl in every direction and on every
part of your body. We'll discuss the construction of various kinds of pasties, advantages of different adhesives and types of
tassels, and how to choreograph an act that incorporates pasties as more than just a predictable ending. Even if you think tassel
twirling is not your thing, you won't want to miss this opportunity to have hands-on training from a woman who has taught
thousands of people all over the world to twirl.
