Glamour Getaways

Whisk away for a brief but potent connection with the siren within. These 2-day weekend intensives cover one theme in luxurious detail. As with our camps, bare bones attendance covers up to 6 hours of class each day. Plus, you may choose from a variety of options that are discounted when bundled. These include additional yummy meals, outings and activities, attractive accommodations, spa treatments, professional make-up, hair and photo shoots for the most glamorous of getaways, all in keeping with the day's theme.

We don't have to tell you what fabulous Girls Getaway, Bachelorette and Birthday bashes these make. Click on the titles below for each experience's special specifics. 

Aquatic

Sea Siren Mermaid Experience 
A fin-filled fantasy come true. Learn and perform an aquatic routine (with mertail, of course) as you immerse yourself in all the pleasures de la mer.  You will be schooled in the rich lore surrounding the denizens of the deep and learn some sea secrets, never to be shared with mere mortals.
The antithesis of the seductive mermaid, these adorable mischievous imps have an irresistible allure all their own.  Think Ginger v. Marianne.  Getaway includes aquatic dance class, myth & mirth.  

Exotic

A Genie's Dream 
Your wish is our command at this plush foray into a magical world of sumptuous beauty.  In addition to luxuriating in old world bellydance instruction and performance, you will become well-versed in the mysteries of geniehood. It's amazing what one can accomplish with just a nod and a blink.

When BaliHai calls, you must answer. Spend the weekend in barefoot bliss, letting your swaying hips and come-hither hands do the talking.  Along with traditional Polynesian dance instruction and performance, you will enjoy a bevy of island delights and activities. 

Femmes Fatales & Decadent Demimondes 
Spend the weekend as a Venetian Courtesan, Folies Bergere showgirl and Japanese Geisha. It's a decided departure from you real life (.... or is it?)  Saturday & Sunday classes range from Follies dance instruction to a formal Japanese Tea Ceremony, the language of the fan & more. Prepare to feel deliciously dubious. 

Goddess Gathering (future offering)
Walk in the sandaled and fabled footsteps of Cleopatra, Aphrodite, Eir (the Norse goddess of healing), Ix Chel (the Mayan's Lady Rainbow) and more, as you find your own unique connection with the divine 

Erotic

Boudoir & Beyond - Salome's Salon
You whispered your request... we answered.  This is our most intimate, empowering and emboldening experience.  Whether for his eyes only, or onstage where all eyes are upon you, you will learn to feel not only comfortable with your body, but elegantly and sensuously in touch with and proud of it. 

You're never too old to fulfill a fantasy from your youth, nor to fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Our cirque getaway includes instruction from licensed aerial arts studios where you will learn tissu, hammock & trapeze - the beautiful things you've seen professional performers do and longed to do yourself. Celebrate your triumph at a live Cirque du Soleil performance (optional).

Faerie Fete and Hobbit & Elven Experience
Whether or not you can see them, many cultures believe that faeries are very real and living under our very noses.  Enter the fairy ring and an enchanted world sparkling with simple pleasures of the earth. Then take a quick trip to Middle Earth, the land of Hobbits and Elves.  You'll learn lore, language, customs and leave with a deeper love and appreciation for life's simple pleasures. 

Symbiotic
[more like self-improvementish, but couldn't find a word that ended in 'otic']

Become a Burly-Q Bombshell
Learn to move with elegant ease and elan at our glamorous finishing school for les femmes.  You will feel self-assured and empowered as you learn to carry yourself in an evening gown ... as well as master the finer points of executing a graceful and tasteful tease.
