FREE POLE CLASS THIS FRIDAY!

It's a party at Harvelle's this Friday night with the last Sassy Minxx show in May, so I've decided to make it REALLY SPECIAL!

We're throwing up the poles before the show for FREE lessons, practice or just plain out showing off.  It's your time to get sexy before you watch my girls take the stage.  It's almost like being one of the Sassy Minxx!

I invite all new students, past students or those who are curious to come play on the pole.  It's going to be a blast and you'll then be able to take that sexy energy onto the dance floor during our intermissions.  You and your girlfriends will rarely get the opportunity to play together like this in such a beautiful club.  It's cool because your boys can watch you in action too, so that'll get his motor going. 

Your class will be taught by Trina Lance, President of Heart and Pole and lead choreographer for the Sassy Minxx.  Trina has taught over 3,000 women, was the pole choreographer for two feature films, has been featured on A Current Affair and has studied with the top pole teachers from all over the world.

Time:  7:30-8:30pm
Cost:  FREE (you still need to pay the cover for the Sassy Minxx show for entry into the club)
Where:  Harvelle's on the Redondo Beach Pier - where Torrance Blvd. meets the ocean

Striptease Workshop on Saturday

Learning to conceal and reveal is an art and we explore the artistry behind the tease this Saturday.  Learn an entire routine that you can easily duplicate yourself at home for a loved one.

You'll need to bring a man's shirt, tie, stockings and high heels.  We'll provide the rest.   Please wear shorts and a t-shirt as this will be our base costume.  Nothing baggy as we'll want them to disappear under your costume pieces. 

Registration will be taken until Friday at 4pm.   No drop-ins for this workshop.

Striptease Workshop on April 26

A very special two-hour workshop on the art of striptease is being held on Saturday, April 26 from 4-6pm.

This is an in-depth class where we'll use numerous layers of clothing and learn to take each off and highlight it.  This is a comprehensive class that takes the time to teach you an entire song's worth of revealing.

You will be required to bring a button-down man's shirt and tie, stockings and high heels.

The cost of this class is $40.  This is a great idea for a bachelorette party, birthday party celebration or even an excuse to celebrate a really great divorce!

Call Hype Studios at (310) 937-4973 to register.

Forty Deuce stars with Sassy Minxx this Friday!!

My burlesque troupe, the amazing Sassy Minxx are in permanent residency the first two Fridays of each month exclusively at Harvelle's Redondo Beach.

This Friday, two of the biggest stars from Forty Deuce will be performing with us.

Carolina Cerisola, possibly the best burlesque dancer working right now in the country will be performing a rare Southern California performance.  Carolina has a huge celebrity following after her days with Forty Deuce.  Her reputation is well-earned and we're thrilled she's available for you to see, up close and personal at the March 7 show. 

Jade, Ivan Kane's right-hand girl during the Forty Deuce Vegas opening and fixture from the Bravo television series is guest starring with the Minxx.  Jade is sultry, flirty and all-together unforgettable.

Harvelle's is now the new home to many of the stars of Forty Deuce.  In fact, most of them got their start at Harvelle's.  No other club provides this type of top-flight entertainment in such luxurious and affordable surroundings. 

The Sassy Minxx are THE best modern burlesque troupe performing today.  Storytellers at heart, this is more than just bump and grind.  This is the story of all women, performed by talented dancers with a theatrical background. 

We have the largest dancefloor in South Bay with the DJ spinning between and after the sets.  It's a great date night or the perfect opportunity to meet other singles in a sexy setting.
