Trot your foxes out to The Deco Ball, where a heady brew of jazz, dance, fine dining and delectation will stir your senses as you traverse a trio of cities infamous for their Art Deco style: New York, Paris, and Havana.

Along with being this year’s Guest Of Honor, Ronnie will be hosting a series of workshops over the course of the convention titled “Risqué Rhythms – Working With Music in Burlesque”. He’ll be sharing pointers & advice for dancing and working with live music, as well as working with pre-recorded music for shows and acts. Discussions including: “owning” your act with original music, choosing the right music for your performance, how song keys and tempos can affect your act, working with different genres of music (jazz, latin, rhythm & blues, rock…), and more. Plus, tips and lessons passed on to him from the striptease queens, comedians, and musicians from the Golden Age of Burlesque.

All classes are located in the Mercer Room and are 60 minutes followed by Q&A.
