Blood Sweat and Tease

When it comes to dancing, I look like Frankenstein with long hair and a bra, so I was a little hesitant. Fortunately, I dragged a friend along to share in the embarrassment! The class starts with some light exercises like push ups, (only a few) burpees, and squat jacks, then the instructor breaks down the moves into smaller pieces, then you put it all together into a dance routine! I thought the workout part (about 20 minutes) was good for all fitness levels and there are modifications, if necessary. The dance routine was fun and sexy. I think everyone there was more focused on getting the routine right, so I didn’t feel self-​conscious about it, especially because everyone there was having so much fun with it.
Love the instructor, she was so positive, encouraging, funny and super sexy. It was a great girls-​night-​out! I have to go and practice the juicy butt now. Bye.

I am thoroughly satisfied with this class. Our instructor Spicy L’Amour empowers confidence through self love. Not the hippie variety, her class encourages handling of curves! Women of all shapes and fitness levels attended this class and because of her core building techniques which allows for active recovery between sets it was not painful. I knew I was working hard because of the sweat on my brow and the smile on my face.
This was a great addition to my marathon training.
There is a dance number at the end that is fun and is not to be missed. Cool vibe cool people and super easy to get to! 1,2,3, b, c trains at 72^nd street!

I was invited to the Burlesque Boot camp by a friend and I am so happy she invited me. I completely fell in love with this class and have been attending for almost 5 months. I played sports most of my life and love the fact that we have the Boot camp portion of the class. It makes me feel like I did a hardcore workout, plus it makes my arms and abs look nice for the dance portion. Then after «Spicy» kicks our butts physically, she helps you to find your inner sexy. I have even picked my own burlesque name «Kadillac De’Rriere». If you want to get a stellar workout, learn a few tricks to spice up the bedroom and just have a good time, this is the class for you. I strongly recommend wearing something you feel sexy in; I usually do workout shorts with a lingerie top.

I love this class. Spicy L’Amour, aka Fern, really knows how to get your heart pumping while making you feel sexy. This is the kind of workout class that you leave feeling better about yourself (which is rare for me). And you get to dance! You sweat your butt off for the bootcamp part and then dance like a sexy mama for the burlesque part. All the while having a great time with a bunch of wonderful women. Try it, you’ll be glad you did
