3-part Tease Technique with Weighted Silk Veil - Masterclass Series with Gaea

This is a series focusing on the burlesque intersection of veils, specifically, something Gaea has never done before. Using techniques from the flow arts, classic & nouveau tease elements, her uniquely designed curriculum, and her decades of experience, Gaea weaves 3 masterclasses together to launch you to tease, please, whether you’re experienced or a beginner.

Gaea uses weighted silk veils in her burlesque dances to titillate and hypnotize. Her performances have won multiple awards & toured her around the globe. The veils and style inspire students to study with her & create art inspired with the veils.

The weighted veil is part fabric, part screen, part flow art tool, part garment, part body expansion, part boa...it offers a huge amount of versatility. The classic veil wraps up *so* many nuances of burlesque & bellydance - and allows for complete new ways of thinking to expand into.

In this 3 part masterclass series, Gaea guides you through her favorite techniques for wrapping & holding to obscure or reveal the body, offers tips & tricks, advises on the best veil sizes for tease work, and explores gestures & body postures to highlight the veil. We’ll activate our sensuality, invoke intention, and learn a piece of choreography in part 3 to integrate it all together.

Participants: bring a journal, a pen, your veil, and a way to record yourself (a phone, camera, or enable your webcam.) Wear something that makes you feel great and won’t stick too much to the veil. More Skin is best.
