Today’s class will learn six basic moves that will make you a bright burlesque dancer. So let’s begin. Shake your legs and move your hands; step on the dance floor, and you are ready.

1. Try the hip hoop

The first beginner’s primary step is hip-hop. A hip hooping is the ever-green move for a burlesque dancer. Try hip hop with or without props. Keep one leg a step forward on your toes, keeping your knee bent. Move your hip up and downshift your weight on the legs. Match the beat of the music and keep grooving.

If you are using a prop, use your hands to hold the prop. If you are performing without a prop, then bend your elbow and place it on your hip.

2. Move your shoulder
