A message from Instructress Miss Leslie…
2012-01-29
I am so happy to announce that I am now teaching full time for the amazing Di and her company Burlesquercise!
Di has been my teacher, mentor and part of my family for a very long time and I am thrilled to be following in her footsteps. Dance is my passion and my love and it has helped me grow throughout my years into a strong, confident woman with courage and personality that resonates in my everyday life. This is why I am very excited to pass on all my knowledge, skill and love for what I do to other ladies who want to feel free and beautiful!
Starting my new class of the year I want to give a shout out to all my girls in my Burlesque 101 (intro) and Chair Tease class taking place on Sundays. The new girls from my intro class were joyful, put their judgement aside, and stepped out of their shells in order to have fun and sexify their souls. I had a fantastic time and was proud of every one of them. Same goes to my girls from my chair tease class. Most of them already taking a Burlesque course in the past came in confident and open minded with smiles on their faces and ready to go. We had a great time, happy to see familiar faces and I really enjoyed spicing things up for them.
I really look forward to all my upcoming classes and sharing the greatness behind Burlesquercise to all the women out there wanting to be part of something that is beautiful, therapeutic and exhilarating!!!

2011-06-12
Continuing on her quest to sexify the USA, Miss Annick taught an oversold workshop and was in a professional line-up in a 'cat burlesque show' at The Fresno Dance Classic!
Over the Memorial Day Long Weekend, May 26-30, Miss Annick travelled to the hot city of Fresno, CA and promoted Burlesquercise along the way...
Upon popular demand, Sexify your Soul workshop was once again on the schedule...being a hit in 2010 & also in 2011. The room was filled with ladies wanting to experience sexification, and they were not disappointed...
Thank you to all the ladies of California for a fun class!!
Also, a huge thanks to these professional divas who did a great show!!!
