The Shimmy Shake Berlin Burlesque School hosts a wide variety of exciting burlesque workshops. Each class is focused on a different style or skill, to cover all facets of burlesque performance. After each term students have the opportunity to perform the choreography they learned at our graduation event, the Shimmy Shake Show. Whether you are interested in classic Bump and Grind, Costuming, Neo, Characterization, Movement, Striptease or Styling, with our ever-changing roster and exciting list of guest teachers we have something for everyone. The teachers of the school are also able to offer special private classes for those wanting to hone existing skills or that prefer to start learning in a private environment.

**MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOU** with HP LOVESHAFT**
Calling aspiring drag kings, princes, casanovas, cowboys, manly men and dandy fops! HP Loveshaft leads an introductory workshop on embodied masculinity, with a focus on movement. We will practice a wide range of common masculine postures and walks, popular dance choreography through the ages, and develop our own individual drag king personas. Finally, a quick makeup practice to complete the illusion & you’re ready to infiltrate & conquer the so-called Man’s World.
HP Loveshaft fell in love with drag as a teenager, watching legendary LA queen Dolly Levi shadowcast at the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Since his debut in 2006, he has been exploring masculinity both publicly and privately. In 2012 he founded Pangaea, a monthly queer cabaret, which served as the birthplace of a myriad drag kings including Lance Ass, Phyl A Show, Clit Eatswood, Creepo Suave, Jack Emoff, Neil N Begfort, and many others. In 2018, HP relocated to Europe, where he toured all over the UK as well as in France, Netherlands, and Brussels, before settling in Berlin, where he now works and studies. A founding member of Venus Boys, HP is a current resident of the House of Presents and Queerdos collective.
