OMGhairstyles is an on-going sponsor to the Velvet Kittens.  OMGhairstyles is offering you this Thanksgiving special.  As Brittney, owner of OMGhairstyles, says…get you hair done!

We’ll be continuing our Dallas classes at the Verandah Club at the Hilton Anatole Hotel, and our Fort Worth at Hyena’s Comedy Club in downtown…and we’re adding classes in both Denton and Addison, as well as returning to Irving! 

 Our classes and workshops will be available in these DFW cities:  Addison, Dallas, Denton, Fort Worth, and Irving.

Speaking of workshops…

 We’ve planned some very special holiday magic for you!  New specialized workshops will be available to celebrate this festive time (and perhaps you can have your own “night of sweets”).

But until then, get warmed up (and out of the on-coming chill) in our Tuesday night class in Fort Worth (7:00 – 8:00 pm), as well as our Dallas burlesque classes on Monday night (7:00 – 8:00 pm) and Saturday early afternoon (1:00 – 2:00pm).

 $15.00 drop-in rate.

Have boas…will travel!

For the month of November our Fort Worth burlesque classes will focus on the tease of burlesque. 

Students will learn one of our most popular burlesque numbers:  If Loving You Is Wrong.

This VK exclusive dance teases and pleases with the playful seduction of the Kittens signature style!  In a slow and seductive fashion, this VK favorite dresses you up in a white button-up shirt, tie, bowler hat, and cane…and slowly dresses you down.

For the month (Fort Worth November special):  $40.00 for all classes

Drop-in rate:  $15.00 per class

Location:  Hyena’s Comedy Club (605 Houston St, between 5^th and 6^th streets)
