Great Old Fashioned Burly-Q
Jo Weldon aptly describes burlesque as a "sophisticated and theatrical art with a long history," and it's a history that will go well into the future, in many forms. Anyone planning on a Broadway musical career should learn what Jo has to teach in this DVD, because sooner or later, they'll need to know. One has only to see the late great Bob Fosse's choreography ("Cabaret," etc.) to know what many of his ideas were based on...burlesque!
Jo covers many subjects in this DVD, and teaches 2 routines. The first is "Honey," which is smooth and sensual with a feather boa, the 2nd is "Spice," which is faster and raunchier because it includes the classic "bump and grind" moves. Both are demonstrated and broken down step by step for easy absorption, and are simple to learn. It's the style that takes practice, in this "art of concealing and revealing."
Jo among her many credits is founder of the New York School of Burlesque. The music used is terrific and very authentic,...
Wowzers!
This video is simply fantastic! Jo is the perfect teacher- wise, gentle, and patient. These combinations are a blast to do and really make you feel sexy and sassy. I highly recommend this video for anyone interested in the world of burlesque, stripping and sexual confidence. A definite A+!
Very authentic instructions, maybe a little light on content
I really liked this DVD. First the menu interface lets you mix the order of the sections fairly effortlessly. But after a few watches, I had pretty much completed everything. But it really feels like a burlesque dance routine, not silly aerobics based on generic "stripper" moves like some of the other dvds out there. Overall I like it and I look forward to doing it, I just wish there was more of it.
