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)

 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.

TESTIMONIALS

Jacqueline has made a world of difference in helping me approach burlesque as a performer with disability and chronic illness. Her advice and mentorship have taught me how to be mindful of my pain and take care of myself without sacrificing any stage presence. Learning from her is something that I am eternally grateful for. I very much look forward to working with her more in the future, and cannot recommend her enough as a mentor.
