Strip School 2023 by Ginger Valentine

I wanna Stripflix ‘n’ Thrill with you, girl. All year long…

Okay, listen up hot stuff. I got questions, you know the answers. 

Do you want to…

  • learn exactly what it takes to win hearts – and crowns – on stage, and stand out in any lineup?
  • fast track your way to the highest standard of performance you’re capable of – and snag those big bookings?
  • discover how to get the best out of your rehearsal and practice sessions, saving time and money?
  • learn 5 secrets to keeping your choreography fresh and exciting?
  • kick imposter syndrome to the curb for good?
  • AND utterly transform your burlesque career and approach every show and opportunity with confidence and expertise?

Yeah, I thought so. I got you, girl.

If you’re ready to learn how to tease with ease and embark on a wonderful new adventure with an expert instructor, Strip School is going to be your new obsession.

By the end of 2023 you’ll have six unique and complete burlesque routines in the bank, mastering props and costumes along the way. Plus, two dozen Fit and Flex sessions to help you improve stamina and unlock new tricks and moves – AND two dozen more info-packed lessons on presence, tease technique, dance moves and more.

What is Strip School?

Strip School is a monthly online training program that serves fun, fitness and expert burlesque instruction to living rooms and studios all over the world. And now it’s headed to yours, babe! The classes can be physical, and you’ll need a little coordination, but you don’t need any previous experience or dance training.

Each month you learn a full length striptease routine that teaches you how to take it off like a pro. You also get themed weekly lessons on tease, movement, and presence, giving you the skills you need to become the showgirl you’ve always wanted to be: confident, captivating and unforgettable. 

With a new theme each month, demos, and Fit and Flex videos, you’ll have plenty of new tricks and routines to master – without overwhelm or monotony.

Online videos are released weekly on Friday afternoons, but you can view them anytime from the comfort of your own home, and complete the course at your own pace.

There are no live classes, so you never have to worry about time zones or missing out on any fun.

You can also message me any time via the chat box for support or to ask questions about a lesson.

Leave your hangups at the door, girl! Whether you’ve danced your whole life, or feel like you’re the most uncoordinated person on the planet, Strip School will unleash and refine your inner showgirl and have you teasing like a pro, building your strength and confidence all at the same time!

You’re going to be punching the air and taking on the whole damn world after a class with me, so get on board – I can’t wait to meet you!

“I’ve been MIA because my hubby gifted me Ginger’s online burlesque lessons and I CAN’T stop – WON’T stop! She’s made my whole year SO much better! I’ve been obsessed with practising floorplay, striptease and lapdancing ever since. Dancing for my husband for the first time was SUCH A RUSH! Highly recommend.”
