Testimonials for Go Slow:
“ Go Slow with Lyra was a game-changer for me. It built my confidence while providing me with the fundamentals to stop and take a moment while performing. It allowed me to think about and feel my body in a way that built excitement and intensity all while going slow. I would hands
down recommend this intensive to anyone who’s wanting to take a step back from the fast pace to learn more precise, controlled movements and stage presence while still looking absolutely
delicious!”
“I had the opportunity to do an intensive with the one and only Lyra la Belle. I love the way she pulled us right back and taught us all to ‘go slow’ savouring the moment, connecting with our bodies and with the audience. Burlesque is not dance, it’s an art form.”
