Pink Kitten Dance School

Despite booking my friend’s burlesque hen party class 4 months in advance, paying and exchanging a number of emails with the co-​ordinator at Pink Kitten to confirm all the details our dance instructor didnt turn up due to an internal error. I was left with a group of hens who’d all bought burlesque accessories out of their own pocket and a disappointed bride to be in a venue we’d made a special trip to go to for this class with no teacher. Pink Kitten did offer the opportunity to join a workshop they were running elsewhere that day but it didnt fit in with the other plans we had for the rest of the day, and wasnt a private class so we declined. They did refund the money promptly afterward but with no gesture to compensate for the money outlaid on accessories or the embarrassment caused. In fact, despite 2 more emails I didnt ever receive another response. Dont book with this dance school.

We chose a Burlesque workshop with Pink Kitten Dance School. Our poor instructor was faced with a number of extremely hungover /​still half drunk hens who put us through our paces. First of all we were taught how to walk alluringly across the floor! Easy eh? We stumbled ungraciously and self-​consciously across the floor in our high heels! However by the end of the class we were all able to do a routine. Dita Von Teese isn’t going to be hanging up her boa anytime soon but it was a fun activity which really bonded the hen group and taught us some saucy tricks to use at home!
The workshop took place in the club part of Java on a lovely light up dancefloor which gave that additional glam factor! We borrowed feather boas but bring your own cardigan (buttons rather than velcro, this isn’t The Full Monty) to help you practice your reveal! No nipple tassle twirling required, you can wear a little top under your cardi. I wore shorts, a top, cardigan and high heels. It may be gentle exercise but were definitely sweating our toxins out towards the end of the workshop.
