This Thursday! Tickets still available: https://momence.com/s/118612394

Why wait until Friday nights to get hot and bothered? Let’s celebrate Thirsty Thursday with this ultra spicy choreo-based workshop utilizing chair, pole, and heels!

We’ll be burning it down to a super juicy cover of Earned It by The Weeknd. You can expect lots of b***y action and heel clackin’ in this choreo. The focus will be on finding your own expression of sexy within the given framework - so come ready to play.

This workshop requires a strong comfort in Level 1 movement or higher (or approval from instructor). The choreo will be erotic in nature, so you should be comfortable with that vibe. There may be an option to remove a clothing layer but the under layer must cover all your business bits. Wrap your presents, y’all. 😘

Heels and knee pads are required.

You do not need prior chair dance experience.

If you have any questions about this workshop, please reach out to the instructor, Mimi, directly.

Summer is heating up and so are we! Join Jamie, Bettie Leigh of Carnivale Debauche, for sizzling hot assel instruction and a short choreographed routine on July 26th from 6-8pm.

This workshop will introduce participants to the basics of assel twirling (wearing tassel pasties on the butt cheeks) and burlesque style dance. All genders, sizes, levels of skill, ability and experience are welcome to experience the joy of butt shaking!

Suggested attire for this workshop includes anything and everything that makes you feel sexy, sassy, and sultry. Please bring a pair of flexible or flattened tassel pasties, adhesive of choice for the pasties, and wear bottoms that pull down easily and fully without needing to unfasten closures. Please be sure to wear undergarments under your bottoms of choice that free the cheeks, but not the other parts "down there". No upper body nudity is required for this workshop, but is welcome if desired. Ni**le pasties should be worn regardless of gender for solidarity purposes.

Saturday July 26
6:00 - 8:00 pm
$40

Tassel pasties can be supplied for those who need it, no questions asked. Double sided carpet tape will be provided for tassel adhering purposes.

This month’s session is this Sunday, July 20 at 3:15! These sessions are open pole time for Trans and GNC individuals to practice skills learned in other pole classes — or as a queer-centered introduction to pole at DG!

An instructor will be present to facilitate, but students will warm up/cool down on their own and are welcome to join at any time during the class.

Unlike a regular open pole, no experience is necessary! Come learn an intro move or practice what you’ve been working on in class.

Join for one, two or all dates!
$5 drop-in
