Feminine Movement-The Art of Burlesque

Coming December 9th to In Other Words (8 NE Killingsworth) at 6p will be a night of tantalizing education and fun. Sahara Dunes, Portland's own burlesque artist and proprietress of Burly Girl Productions, brings you Feminine Movement-The Art of Burlesque, an evening of learning, moving, and fun. Sahara will educate you on the history of burlesque starting with the 1800's right up to current revival. Then she'll get you up and moving with a few of her favorite burlesque moves. And to end the night, there will be a screening of A Wink and A Smile, a burlesque documentary about 10 women who attend Seattle's Academy of Burlesque and how it changed their life forever. It also stars Miss Indigo Blue along with some other great Seattle burlesque performers.

This is a night not to miss. Plus there will be some goodies to munch on and some delicious beverages to drink.

Sliding scale of $5-$10 at the door

Event doors open at 6p
