Burlesque icon Dita Von Teese partners with Canyon Ranch for sensuality classes
Canyon Ranch is partnering with internationally renowned ‘Queen of Burlesque’ Dita Von Teese to offer guests of the resort a programme designed to explore sensuality, seduction and female empowerment – including classes in the ‘art of modern burlesque’.
The ‘Sensuality & Art of the Teese with Dita Von Teese’ package, which will run from 8-12 June 2015, encompasses beauty workshops and physician-led discussions on the health benefits of sexuality.
Von Teese and burlesque educator Catherine D’Lish will teach a striptease routine focused on basic moves, including a ‘burlesque strut’, and techniques for skillfully removing garters, stockings and gloves. The history and development of American burlesque will be taught to guests too.
Canyon Ranch staff will run a ‘Dita Von Teese fit strip class’, led by the star herself.
Von Teese, who is working on a beauty book, will offer glamour advice and tips to guests, to help them achieve a burlesque-inspired look.
Additionally, Canyon Ranch’s Dr Nicola Finley – a specialist in women’s health – will host discussions on sexual health as part of the programme.
“Respecting one’s sexuality is an important element of living a full and happy life,” said Finley. “There is mounting evidence that human touch is healing and that a fulfilling sexual life can be an integral part of one’s overall health.”
Lectures by Finley will focus on exploring the physical and emotional factors that impact women’s sexual desire and arousal during all stages of life. There will also be a session dedicated to teaching guests how dancing and social interaction can help to achieve optimal health.
