Same here. Maybe it's a mid life crisis. Or the realization that I AM WORTHY of loving myself and my embracing my femininity. As a Grand Bonus...you might just find yourself installing a pole in your bedroom. 😉
That's awesome ladies. I took a pole dancing class and a strip tease class and one of the teachers was in her upper 50's... kind of plain, conservative. WELL... then she did a little demo & when she was done I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Dammnnn. She was HOT. It totally changed my mind about age & sexiness. She said someone drug her there, she was so shy she couldn't even make eye contact passing people at work in the halls. Until she took the class. Then she started teaching it. So many women there, all ages and sizes had similar stories. It's all about feeling sexy and confident and learning some awesome moves! So keep it up! It will make you feel great and will def please your significant others.
I'm young (16) but I've known I wanted to be a burlesque dancer since before I should've. You've made my dream so much closer and I'm so thankful. Thank you. If I ever truly become a burlesque dancer and get up on that stage, I'll have you to thank for it.
It’s amazing that you have such passion and conviction behind your interest in burlesque! I hope that one day (when you’re old enough) you do grace the stage, but before then I would task you to make sure you do your research into burlesque and study one of the classic performance mediums that make up a burlesque performance ( voice, dance, theater, circus, gymnastics) and then begin your journey into burlesque if you so choose. It’ll make you a more dynamic performer with options in entertainment. As a young performer you have the option to explore all avenues before deciding to niche down! Good luck love! Stick around. We’ll chat more.
As a belly dance teacher, I totally appreciate that you teach your steps on both sides. I always teach there is a right, left, front, back, up, down to a routine. ❤️
@@VeraValentinaa I Adore your video! When my ex used to make me strip at a club, I would imagine that I was a graceful beautiful Burlesque lady. I'd dance in a way that made me feel sexy. It was the only way to get thru, ya know?! Wish your videos were around back then!
@Apsara Sangreal I'm sorry... Did they MAKE u dance when u ain't want to? *I want an address* *I want a name* *I want a baseball bat* *And I want to know what they value most in life* Not for any... ✨Particular Reason✨, or anything. Just wanna know.
I'm not going into burlesque BUT I am a singer, a very shy singer, and this will be VERY helpful with my stage presence. Can't wait to employ these moves in my act. Thank you
As someone who is just beginning their burlesque journey (and I mean JUST. Like just this week), this is an incredibly informative video. Thank you. As a life long dancer and someone who has danced in heels for several years, I am wildly impressed that you did this whole video on carpet. I applaud you.
I just started taking a burlesque dance class and while I've been in love with burlesque, it wasn't until I was in class that I felt truly empowered, emboldened, and at one with myself. I've been binging videos to grow what I know now since my class last night. Thank you for this well put together video.
Standing tall & walking beautifully is SO important. When I use to teach ballroom/Latin. That was my first lesson. Not only walking forwards but most importantly walking backwards!
Um, yes. Just yes. I haven't even watched more than 7 seconds of the video but I just got to PAUSE and RESPECTFULLY say.... Whatever it is that you are doing, that stuff that feeds your soul, the unique joyful things in life you are lucky enough to have found that work for JUST YOU,... it's WORKing. You are a healthy, glowing, stunning woman, my gah!! You shine, and I hope you know it shows 😊 and a little got on me, so thank you 🧚♀️
I am obsessed with everything burlesque right now! It was just a matter of time 💐❤️✨ I’ve always been glam, femme, and into many different styles of dancing.
From what I’ve seen is tht burlesque really compliments curvier girls which I’m thankful for. I’ve thought about wanting to do ballet but I never felt like I would look as graceful as other girls do to my shape(I have really pronounce hips and shoulders giving me the hourglass shape) it can get in the way of most other dance styles but I’m glad I might actually look good going this!
This is the most helpful video for burlesque I've ever seen! Could have really used it last year at my first(and to date only) burlesque performance. I watched lots of performances on RUclips but the day of the show I just got drunk and freestyle danced my songs... Can't wait to practice these moves and try again! Thank you!!!
Doing burlesque in quarantine! Thanks for the cool videos! I was actually watching videos on “how to dance like fosse” and then learned that he came from a burlesque background so looked up burlesque stuff and found you! Fosse burlesque!! 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for sharing this! When I was younger, I used to be a dancer. I stopped around the ages of 8-10 due to the rigidity of my studio and the fact that I wasn’t very well liked- I liked to be loud and free. Not the best for ballet 😅. As I’ve grown, I’ve also lost a lot of that self confidence I had due to some physical and emotional trauma I went through, but I’ve really started to want to be beautiful for myself, and not because someone else tells me I am. Burlesque and Burlesque inspired dances have always been something I was drawn to (Pippin and Chicago were my favorite shows as a young girl before I saw true burlesque, I loved when the girls all swung their hips and wore gorgeous outfits) and seeing you be so proud and confident makes me want to feel good about myself. So, I just want to say thank you for making me want to love my body again- I know this all seems a bit dramatic, but I’ve always been a bit of drama queen lol so it fits.
First of all, you are absolutely beautiful. How I wish I knew this years ago. But now I'm an old ass white gramma with dementia. I still see and feel like I'm young. Going to practice some of your moves, my door closed and gental grinds. Thank You!
Thank you! I've wanted to be a burlesque dancer ever since the first time I saw a fan dance! I am a hoop dancer and cant wait to hopefully incorporate hoop into burlesque. I have also always wanted to join the circus!!
This video was amazing! I love how clear and straight forward the instructions are and yet even fun when it comes to seeing all the "what not to do" examples and real moments of just getting food to recharge partway through. Thank you, I'm so excited to be feeling comfortable with these elements and can already see myself playing with variations and new combinations!
I love your personality so much! It’s never extra darling, just so charming! I am so grateful to have found your video, you’re such an awesome teacher and make it so fun! And YES - staying activated!!! I loved that you said not for vanity, but to stay rooted in core and be lifted and activated/aware of the rest of the body with STRENGTH! Much Aloha to you!!! 🌺💚
I hope that your back is recovering and you are feeling better soon. 🌺 At times, I find that I need to modify the speed or the maneuver to accommodate my physical limitations. But I Refuse to give up. Even if I can only dance in my eyes and heart... KEEP ON DANCING. 💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺
You are absolutely the best instructor I have ever come across absolute best. And they're easy to follow you. Explain perfectly you don't go too fast. You pop that hip correctly? I love it. I love it. You give me chills. I adore you I adore you
Oh lady, thankyou! I found your clip by chance, after thinking dance would be good healing after just leaving a DV situation. I thought I was going to do some tap, but im so glad I found you! I feel my power coming back! Moving my hips, embracing my age and remembing my fierceness. Thankyou, sincerely,
I just finished watching the movie Burlesque for the umpteenth time and decided to open up RUclips and there you were. I really want to learn the choreography from the movie. Thanks for the basic steps.
this is a really helpful film making the moves look simple but probably great when strung together. It would be great to learn about which tunes are good to start with and how maybe just 3-5 moves can be strung together to create a fun routine.
Hey thank you for showing how simple these moves can be. I’m NOT a dancer or been anywhere near a burlesque performance in my life. But I AM a middle aged mother of 3 who has completely forgotten she ever was fun or sexy, and this gives me a little glimmer-shimmy of hope that it is still possible. Miss Vera Valentinaa might just have saved my sassy ass!
I am in absolute awe right now... I have burlesque danced around my house since around the age of 7. 23 years old, 2 kids, and a lot of changes later and it’s still one of my biggest dreams ever. I tell myself it will never be because I live in the middle of no where kansas. Just came across this video by pure accident today and almost cried when I heard you mention Kansas City. Damn..... maybe my dreams really aren’t that out of reach 😭😭😭
Kansas City and St.Louis have HUGE burlesque communities! Burlesque is not lost on the Midwest my love! Make sure you attend the Kansas City Burlesque Festival and Show Me Burlesque Festival in 2021 or 2022 lol You’ll see what I mean bb! 😜
I've recently fell in love with burlesque but I've never had a chance to take dance lessons for anything. You're so sweet and honest and I love it. I want to do this!
ive always had a passion for burlesque. ive just been too insecure for soooo long. this year, i want to go and chase that passion and finally dance. ive been practicing with this video and i have a long way to go (even the show girl stance was making me loose balance) but just gotta keep trying. thank you so much for this video. when i finally hit the stage i promise to mention you to others and how much you helped with just your vids ❤
Your so beautiful! I am so proud to see a beautiful black woman doing classy burlesque dance. Absolutely gorgeous! The way you carry yourself, the graceful way you move and present yourself, absolutely gorgeous! So proud of you and wish you much success! Continue to watch and share!
I just recently started watching burlesque performances and I decided I wanted to be a part of it, it looks like something I'd fit into. I've just never danced before so I'm trying to find all things that will help and your video sure has! It's also amazing to see a RUclips in the KC area!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! You're a great teacher! I'm such a newbie to dancing and body awareness in general. This is so helpful and easy to digest! I can't wait to incorporate them into a little routine for my friend for Halloween 🎃👻!
This is so useful because now I have signed up to randomly do a burlesque dance for an event that I’m coordinating 😂 thank you so much for sharing. I have until March 6th to 👏🏽get 👏🏽this👏🏽 to 👏🏽 gether 👏🏽
Thank you so very much. Omb73 years in a drama club. Title "A Sentiment Journey" about burlesque and vaudeville. I'm old and want to be a star on Broadway. So I'm saying why can't I be a star I can bump, bump, I can do the grind and even shimmy. Etc. So I need to learn some dance routine. This video is wonderful. Our drama group are from ages 65 and up. We are from a senior center in Simi Valley, CA. Our show is scheduled for June 2 and 3rd. Once again God bless and THANK YOU.
You know I really like you. I wasn't sure about watching you being first on my search but Girl you impressed. Explanation: I am a DIYer (never before about dancing). But I search a lot of how to videos before and during my projects and most of the time I'm looking for at least 40 minutes to an hour until I find a channel that hits my mark! You did that at the first try
...you know I didn't think I'd end up here for fanfic research purposes at 2 am on a saturday (sunday?) night but I am HERE thanks for the save and helping me sound like I know wth I'm talking about, wahoo!
OMG... This girl is fun and hilarious and a great teacher! I don't even know how the heck I ended up on this video but I am always looking for ways to teach my body to move differently so this tutorial felt like a good idea. A dancer, I am not. I weight lift and I'm a plyometrics junkie but dancing feels hard... like, so so hard! That said, I already learned 9 new things from this video (I say 9 because I'm already a good smiler). Thanks for the great tutorial--I already feel like I had a few wins which is important when trying something new! I'm gonna go get my groove on and dance like the dog isn't watching😂.
I just foundyour channel. I've been a student of Middle Eastern dance for several years and had no idea a lot of these movements in burlesque are very similar! Wonderful instruction!

SAME
I'll be 56 next month and I've decided to learn some burlesque moves to stay in touch with my sexy self. Thanks for the basic tutorial!
I am 48 and I was about to take a burlesque class and then it got cancelled. 😩😭 I would LOVE to do it!!! ❤
Same here. Maybe it's a mid life crisis. Or the realization that I AM WORTHY of loving myself and my embracing my femininity.
As a Grand Bonus...you might just find yourself installing a pole in your bedroom. 😉

You go girl, I am knocking 60 pretty hard. You dance your heart out.
When reading the comments wins from the video 😂
“Why am I so extra”? Don’t change a thing. Love it
"this is the walk you use when you're really excited about the sparkly shit you put on", looooool forever!!! so GOOD

Omg I'm in the exact same position!
You don’t even need to burlesque, just the psychology of it and the moves ❤️
I don’t know how I ended up on this video, but I’m glad I did. Demonstrations of how not to walk on stage were hilarious.
As a belly dance teacher, I totally appreciate that you teach your steps on both sides. I always teach there is a right, left, front, back, up, down to a routine. ❤️
Exactly! You sound like me! Lol
@@VeraValentinaa ... ❤️
@@technicoloryaya549do you still instruct

I'm a bellydancer and these moves may come in handy. btw hello sparkly people is a great merch line. I'd wear it.

Not for any...
✨Particular Reason✨, or anything. Just wanna know.
Her personality is incredible.
IDK WHY SUDDENLY the sound and picture are out of sync during the dancer walks section! Sorry folks! It was fine when I exported it... #we’relearning
Was so mesmerized by your tutorial that I didn’t even notice ! Well done 👍🏻
I'm not going into burlesque BUT I am a singer, a very shy singer, and this will be VERY helpful with my stage presence. Can't wait to employ these moves in my act. Thank you

I absolutely love the extra-ness! Quirky and confident look amazing together!
Omg thank you! A lil cray with a lil Bey(yoncé)
@@VeraValentinaa Ha!!! I had to sound-it-out, in order to understand!! Haha... Awesome
Could you do a Tutorial on the sloppy bun with a Handercheif?! Yours is always perfect. But, my best attempt still looks like trash!
I absolutely love the EXTRA!!!
I just started taking a burlesque dance class and while I've been in love with burlesque, it wasn't until I was in class that I felt truly empowered, emboldened, and at one with myself. I've been binging videos to grow what I know now since my class last night. Thank you for this well put together video.
How was it
I’ve been dancing like this for years and didn’t even know it😂 I am so glad I found this place lol
"Why am I so extra?" 😂😂😂 Burlesque, love! Burlesque!
"Why am I so extra?" What does that mean? Like being a Curve Girl? Or a lil' fluffy?! Please tell me.
Standing tall & walking beautifully is SO important. When I use to teach ballroom/Latin. That was my first lesson. Not only walking forwards but most importantly walking backwards!

You should NEVER apologize for being extraaaaaaaa!!🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I thought that too! The Bend and Snap!!
Back in my younger days a long time ago, I used to do most of these moves in clubs/discos. No wonder I attracted attention (LOL)
Yasss! Retro get down!
"I don't know why I'm so extra." Um, cause you are! Love it!!!!
I'm a costumer, and started watching one of your costume videos- fantastic! so easy and watching burlesque videos have given me soooo many ideas

I'd love to see a short beginner friendly routine you could teach us. I'm a ballet dancer, but would love to try my hand at burlesque

You know I really like you. I wasn't sure about watching you being first on my search but Girl you impressed. Explanation: I am a DIYer (never before about dancing).
But I search a lot of how to videos before and during my projects and most of the time I'm looking for at least 40 minutes to an hour until I find a channel that hits my mark!
You did that at the first try
Vera!! You're a true queen. Thank you for this great tutorial.

I agree with what others have raved about. I will add that your hand gestures are so beautiful and expressive. Absolutely lovely and classy!!

OMG... This girl is fun and hilarious and a great teacher! I don't even know how the heck I ended up on this video but I am always looking for ways to teach my body to move differently so this tutorial felt like a good idea. A dancer, I am not. I weight lift and I'm a plyometrics junkie but dancing feels hard... like, so so hard! That said, I already learned 9 new things from this video (I say 9 because I'm already a good smiler). Thanks for the great tutorial--I already feel like I had a few wins which is important when trying something new! I'm gonna go get my groove on and dance like the dog isn't watching😂.
I just foundyour channel. I've been a student of Middle Eastern dance for several years and had no idea a lot of these movements in burlesque are very similar! Wonderful instruction!
Never heard of this dance til now, thanks! 🥳
Alarmingly Gorgeous made me so happy! This is wonderful xxxx
