Burlesque Workshop Lights Up Burdekin

A brilliant and vibrant Burdekin Burlesque Workshop illuminated the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre on Sunday the 15th of June as nine talented ladies had a ball, busting a move and having a groove throughout the wonderful session.

Foxie Eleoyze shared a post online towards the end of last month, putting feelers out to see if the community would be interested in burlesque workshops focusing on facilitating self-expression through dance and movement. To her surprise, Foxie’s query was well received among the community, generating just under 100 interactions from many locals who were beyond excited by the new idea.

“I believe Burlesque Workshops have not been in the Burdekin for a long time, if ever,” shared Foxie.

“When I first started learning exotic burlesque, I had so much shame and guilt come up, yet, I found the more I leaned into what I truly desired – to express myself through my body – I discovered how so incredibly empowering and liberating it was!”

Foxie’s class was so positively welcomed by the community, and she has received plenty of heartwarming messages from attendees and friends who left her workshop “glowing”!
