FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
When do you offer classes? How do I register for a class?
All classes are by appointment. To schedule a day and time for your Burlesque Goddess experience, call or text (815) 878-1428. Cherish will confirm your class date and time with the dance studio (or present you with an alternate if necessary) and then send you an electronic invoice. You are welcome to pay online prior to the session, or in person upon arrival at the studio before class begins.
Who takes these lessons? Is this for me? Will I be welcome?
ALL ARE WELCOME at Burlesque Goddess. We do not exclude based on gender, size, ethnicity, shape, etc. We believe that everyone can benefit in some way from taking one of our classes. There is no hate here.
What should I wear to class?
Great Question! The Answer – Whatever you feel most comfortable wearing!
We suggest that you wear stretchy, body-forming clothing like leggings or yoga pants and a tank top or form-fitting T-shirt for maximum flexibility, but please dress to your comfort level.
Regarding footwear, you are welcome and encouraged to bring high heels to wear for a class, but if that’s not for you it is not necessary. Dance shoes, lyrical sandals, ballet flats or similar as well as socks with a grip are all acceptable if you do not want to wear high heels.
Will there be any other people or groups in my class?
NO! That’s the wonderful thing about Burlesque Goddess, all classes are scheduled in advance and only open to the person or group who reserved the lesson. All classes are scheduled by appointment only. There are no drop-in or open classes, so you’ll know everyone there except the instructor.
How long are the lessons?
A typical class lasts around 55-60 minutes, including warm-up and cool-down exercises. Longer classes (from 90 minutes up to 2 hours) are also available upon request.
Please plan to arrive 5 minutes prior to class start time to check in.
How do I pay? / What forms of payment is accepted?
You can pay online or in person. Full payment is due prior to the beginning of class.
