Want to learn?
Jacqueline is available to teach one-on-one or in a group setting on a number of subjects, including act planning, musicality, floorwork, chair work, stage presence and makeup, and specializes in adaptive movement for mobility limitations. Her two most popular classes are as follows:
"The Mind: Dance for Mobility Restrictions"
The Mind is a class that focuses on theory, group discussion, meditation and mindfulness. How can we rewrite our conversations with our bodies in the midst of injury or limited mobility? (approx. 50 minutes)
"The Movement: Floor/Chair for Mobility Restrictions"
The Movement is where I share how I've come to reimagine burlesque movements on chairs and on the floor in a way that avoids injury and keeps all the sex. How do you captivate a room without the strut or the parade? (approx. 50 minutes)
These classes work really well as a duo, but they can also be taken separately! Limited mobility is a reality for EVERY body at some point, and learning how to move in harmony with restrictions rather than in spite of them is a valuable lifelong tool.
Contact Jacqueline through the "FAQ, Contact, & Booking" tab if you'd be interested in hosting these or other classes or to arrange a one-on-one session. Standard rate for one-on-one instruction: $85/hr.
