• Dance:

Lara has choreographed and performed since she was knee-high to a grasshopper. Her focus was to create and run a business where she could share her passion for dance with others, and to encourage everyone to celebrate the body they have, let go of their inhibitions, and feel the absolute freedom that dance can give, and so; The Velvet Burlesque was formed. 

• Fitness/Personal Training:

Lara is dedicated to ensuring everyone she teaches reaches their maximum potential - often exceeding the initial goals set by her clients, and all within a safe and supportive environment.

Fitness/rehabilitation programs/classes are tailored to suit each individual, and always within the client's physical capabilities & limitations. 

All dance & fitness classes are suitable for beginners.
