Sexy Burlesque Babes in the Press
2011-11-09
Burlesquercise is hot news and featured in the press!
Burlesque-influenced workout regimen helps local women re-invent themselves...
"It's a dance fusion exercise class. It's half dance, half fitness with a burlesque twist," says Diva Di. "The idea came about because most women are pretty busy and they get tired of working out in the conventional way of the gym. Ladies want to be fit but they want to have fun."

Jeannie meets Burlesquercise
2011-10-06.jpg)
Sometimes we get those special emails that make you go: awwwww, that's so thoughtful and nice to hear...
Read about how Burlesquercise has influenced Jeannie. We thank you for your testimonial.
Dearest Di... thank you so much for today... Class was amazing and I feel amazing.
My transformation is in part due to you and burlesquercise.. I received the confidence that perhaps was lacking to take control of life and make lots and lots of changes... losing weight, sorting out physical injuries and going back to university to become a social worker. It's been a long hard fight back but as John Wayne says... "courage is about being scared to death but saddling up anyways"... excellent words to live by.

I bought tickets for the Rocky Mountain Saturday evening... hahaha, front row tickets cause I deserve it baby...lol lucky table 13... can't wait.
See you soon...
kisses,
Jeannie G.

Jean Marc is a Hit with Donna
2011-09-25
My oh my, what effect Jean Marc Genereux has on the ladies...
Donna says: I love his cheeky smile! He made me feel like a dancer.
Click this blog to read more...
Hey Di this is for you and Jean- Marc,
I switched up my style a bit for fun.
Just go with it when you read,
it unfolds as it goes along...
EMAIL FROM DONNA
Dear Lorraine,
You being in the know with these things, some guy, dancer, choreographer,whatever, named John or Jean or Marc, is coming to my dance class tomorrow...you know anything about him?
Dear Donna,
O M G are you kidding me? You mean Jean-Marc from SYTYCDC ?
Your teacher Di must have friends in high places!
Dear Lorraine,
I tuned in to see what all the fuss is about and I learn that this Jean- Marc person,
is impeccably dressed, professional, well groomed, well spoken, very focused, and for me, a newbie...a wee bit scary. But I gotta trust Di on this one, if he is a mentor and friend of Di’s then other than being talented he must be a nice guy, I could not see Di putting up with anything else.
So off I go to class, not knowing what to expect, and imagine my delight when Di and Jean- Marc walk into class without a red carpet! No convoy, no paparazzi just a multi tasking Di on her blackberry and a smiling Jean -Marc carrying two umbrellas even though it was not raining. Perhaps he was waiting for the rain so he could do a Gene Kelly?
And the class...it was exquisite. The man is talented, charming and funny. I do think he should switch to decaf coffee and SOON. He had an abundance of energy and smiles. He was enjoying himself, it was contagious. My first brush with dance royalty and he made it so easy and natural, I did not feel one bit self conscious.
I was so lucky to see his thought process at work, but the best part of the class was his earnest and heartfelt speech at the end. He gathered us around him and acknowledged our courage to take a dance class AND to dance at the gala. He was proud of us for catching on quickly, and acting professionally when learning new steps. But most of all he encouraged us to continue to dream. He shared with us that he is thankful each day for being able to do what he does....he is LIVING THE DREAM! It could not have happened to a nicer or more talented guy!
Oh yes, one more thing....Jean Marc touched my boa, he danced with my boa....and no you can’t have it!
Dear Donna

2011-08-28
What a glorious sunny and hot weekend!! Perfect for suntanning, hanging out with girlfriends, and spending some quality time at Prince's Island Park for some great dancing on stage at Expo Latino 2011.
Thank you to all the local supporters of this fabulous outdoor festival. It was another successful event, a great way to wrap up the summer, since fall will be here before long....

Summer isn’t over yet
2011-08-11
But our summer class is a wrap! It was a short 5-week session and we made the best of it!
Thank you to the fine ladies that entertained week after week. We had the summer flu, the summer cold and the summer fever. BUT we still managed to shake our booties and strut our stuff!! It was a great intro class and all were inspired to join fall classes with the rest of the team.....leading towards our next gala in December. Boy that seems so far away...
What a great bunch:
