My fanny-tastic tassel-twirling jet-setting teacher
Coco Framboise is
teaching another set of classes in the
Coco Framboise School of Burlesque downtown Toronto!
I can't attend the full run of them this round,
due to a double-booking on Wednesday nights with my bootcamp. I shake my
fists at the heavens.
You, however, should go.
Go here to pre-register at discounted rates! Information is also available on her website.
If you are of the female persuasion and either have
no interest in
performing, or
all intentions of shimmying for the public, she teaches
for both. She offers two hour-long classes a night (that sometimes go
long, but never cut short). Coco is responsible for adding polish and
rubbing in the raunch on many of Toronto's performers, including the
sexy
Obskyura,
Keela Watts, and
Trixi Jones to name a few.

Minnie Tonka and
Dew Lily are coming out
this time too, as first-ever guest teachers!
Minnie is straight from New
York, where she's best known for
being one half of The Schlep Sisters and competing at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las
Vegas for Best Group in 2009 and 2011, she was also voted
#32 in the
Top 100 International Burlesque Industry Figures of 2010.
Dew Lily is from Toronto's
own lurid backyard, and is often seen naked in the company of
Les Coquettes and
Boylesque TO.
Both guest teachers are sure to be incredible resources of sleaze and
tease.
Of the classes, I reccomend the
Vegas Fan lesson. This class turned me on to
feather fans in a bad bad way. I went out and got my own pair shortly
after. I suggest no lipgloss. You'll be spitting
feathers.
I'll be attempting to attend a few classes by switching my bootcamp
from 6pm to 6am for those days. That, ladies and sexpots, is how dedicated I am
to edification!
Hope to see you there!
