CARDIFF burlesque workshops

Cardiff Are You Ready for a Day of Burlesque, Empowerment and Self Expression ?

Join Daisy DeVell on 30th November 2025 at J1 Studios for two themed burlesque workshops—you can choose to join one workshop or both.

Workshops:

• Classic Burlesque:

  Explore the golden age of tease through classic bump and grind and playful character-driven clownery. This workshop blends timeless glamour with fun, teaching the technique behind bump and grind while paying homage to the mid-century strippers and helping you shimmy like the O.Gs.

• Sleaze & Tease:

  Dive in dirty and discover the art of Sleaze & Tease. Learn how to combine attitude, rhythm, and unapologetic energy to create a performance that’s equal parts grit, empowerment, and seduction.

Everybody is welcome:

Open to all levels, these workshops welcome newcomers and seasoned performers alike. While the routines are beginner-friendly, the motifs and styling offer layers of creativity and challenge for experienced performers.

Our workshops celebrate all bodies, genders, ages, and backgrounds, providing a safe, fun, and inclusive space to empower and connect with your body, boost confidence, and explore the joy of movement and self-expression.

Schedule:

• 12:00pm - 01:30pm | Classic Burlesque

• 01:30 - 03:00pm | Sleaze & Tease

What to bring:

• Comfortable Dance Clothes: Wear breathable, flexible attire that allows you to move freely. Gym wear, dancewear, fishnets, or lingerie all work—whatever makes you feel comfortable and empowered! We recommend avoiding corsets as they can restrict movement. Dress up or dress down, the choice is yours.

• Optional Knee Pads: If you would like to protect your knees during the warm up and cool down. Knee pads are advised but are not necessity, we encourage for extra protection if the attendee has any knee injuries.

• Heels or Alternatives: Go for comfy, stable heels OR feel free to dance barefoot or socks. Dance heels are recommended due to the fabric bottom, which can bring ease to your movements and burlesque walks. Pleasers can be a little tricky due to the nature of gliding through burlesque movements, but if you prefer to rock your please and feel comfortable in doing so then pleaser do. ( please note some studios don't accept heels to protect the floor, in this case bare feet or socks will be recommended )

• Water Bottle: Hydration is your best friend forever and always especially whilst learning sizzling moves, most studios have refillable taps but incase there is no access to water please be prepared with plenty of water.

• Snack – if you’re joining both workshops – fuel up and stay energised.

Accessibility & Access Considerations:

• The Splott-Road studio is described as a ground-level / shopfront-style space.

• The “studio-hire” page for the Splott-Road site implies it’s a “shopfront studio” — which suggests the entrance is likely at street level. J1 Studios+1

• However — there is no publicly available info confirming designated disabled-access parking bays or full step-free parking for this location.

• If you plan to drive: it’s advisable to arrive a little early to allow time for street parking or checking local parking regulations, especially if you need easy access for mobility reasons or to carry equipment.

Tips:

• Book ahead if you’re attending a class/event during busy periods (evenings/weekends).

• Check how far the booked car park is from the studio entrance (walking distance may matter if you're carrying gear).

• Allow extra time for traffic/parking if you’re driving in from further out.
