Coco Belle x Ikigai Collective
I am so excited to be bringing my burlesque workshops to my home county.
Both workshops are for all levels and props will be provided. All you need to bring is your beautiful bodies and some heels if you want to wear them. I always advise wearing something that makes you feel fabulous but that you can also move in. A little lippy is never frowned upon!
Very excited to share my passion of burlesque with you all. Come along and see what all the sparkles are about!
