Learn the magic of classic pin-up posing with international pin-up expert Bettina May, and you'll be the star of promo photos, stage, and life! All genders and bodies will benefit. During the class, students will have an opportunity to speak with Bettina May about her experience as both a published pin-up model and photographer in a Q & A setting, and then get hands-on experience trying out her poses, playing with different characters, and get individual assistance and correction with posing.

Objectives: In Strike A Pose, students will learn how to incorporate classic pin-up theory into their dance routines and promo photo posing, giving them more confidence onstage and helping them to get better live action photos.
