What my students say
-
Are the workshops inclusive?What I’ve always loved about Burlesque is that it’s been a safe space for me to explore my creativity, my body, and my sexuality. I cherish being able to provide that same empowering experience for others, and it means so much to me to share this journey with you. Whether you’re new to dance or have some experience, my workshops are open to all levels, and I encourage everyone to learn at their own pace. My workshops are beginner-friendly, body-positive, and inclusive of all genders, bodies, identities, and backgrounds. They’re also sex-positive, with the ultimate goal of empowering you and celebrating who you are through the art of Burlesque. I acknowledge that sex workers pioneered and were the integral part in the history and creation of this art form. I'm committed to honour, respect, and celebrate the foundational contributions of those who have shaped and continue to influence the burlesque community today.
-
Do you offer private mentorship?I offer private one to one sessions, both online internationally and in person. We can cover everything from Burlesque act development, acting methods, dance technique and business advice. Please email theginastirling@gmail.com to enquire and we can arrange a session when I'm in your city or country.
-
What is the minimum age for participation in the workshop?Attendees must be at least 18 years old as the sessions contain mature content, adult themes, and there may be some explicit language.
-
What should I wear to the Workshops?I want you to feel confident, sexy, and empowered during my workshops, so wear clothing that is comfortable, easy to move in, and makes you feel your best. Many people choose leggings, crops, sports bras, singlets, or shorts. For shoes, you can opt for heels, jazz shoes, sneakers, flat dance shoes, or go barefoot if that’s more comfortable for you. If we’re doing floor work, please bring knee pads for protection. Don’t forget to bring water to stay hydrated, and if you'd like to take notes, feel free to bring a notepad and pen.
