How Dance Classes Actually Work

Two Civic studios run private dance sessions that double as the party itself. ilLustrious Dance and Burlesque teaches glamour styles to hens, birthday and work groups, and The Brass Room Canberra City hosts themed pole nights for hens and birthdays.

Deciding which class fits the crowd:

  • Feathers, gloves and boas belong to ilLustrious's Burlesque Bombshell and Showgirl Sass sessions.
  • For a country theme, Rhinestone Cowgirl has guests decorate hats, sip bubbles and learn to line dance.
  • Drag Diva teaches the group to strut, pose and take over a room.
  • At The Brass Room, groups choose a pole theme: Pole Tease with shirts and stilettos, Polesque with feathers, or a pole-and-chair routine in lace robes.
  • ilLustrious is From $35 per person; The Brass Room is From $400 per group.
