B.A.B.E. Studio, 119 Braintree St., Allston, MA

- From smiles that sparkle to glares that penetrate, this class will cover that most powerful of human communication devices - the face! 1 part makeup, 1 part dance, 100% fun, this class will cover 4 different styles of makeup paired with 4 different modes of facial expression with simple, highly expressive choreography. Combining Betty Blaize's classical Indian dance training, love of making funny faces, and years of experience in stage makeup, this class will help students develop a well-rounded tool kit of facial expression.
Class will cover these four looks and styles:
- 1st week - Vintage Vixen - a 1940s Pin Up makeup style and a perky, patriotic choreography
- 2nd week- Film Noir Siren - the classic 1920s pouty lips and smokey eyes, and a flirtateous and naughyt choreography
- 3rd week - Cabaret Temptress - the deliciously decadent look of a cabaret dancer, and a stark, sharp, downright dangerous choreography
- 4th week - Exotic Minx - a pan-ethnic, Oriental makeover, and choreography filled with dramatic stylings and foreign appeal.
Each class will feature face warm-up, simple choreography breakdown focusing on head, hands and expression, and a makeover.
Students will be given a makeup shopping list that will cover all four looks with annotations for each week's makeup.

- This week's move is Tassel Twirling -- the ultimate burlesque trick! You will need to bring pasties with tassels to class for this. We'll have a few pairs for sale. If you're uncomfortable appearing in just pasties, please wear a close-fitting tank-top under your bra and affix the pasties to that. It's harder to twirl, but we don't want anyone struggling beyond their comfort level.
Week Four's striptease lesson is Removing a Bra. Please bring a back-fastening bra to class. See the above note about pasties and comfort levels. That applies here too.
For extra fun, we'll be playing with Feather Boas, that quintessential burlesque accessory. If you have a boa, by all means bring it, but we'll also have some loaner boas.
