The end result is an all around workout of most all the major muscle groups, strength and stamina, flexibility and coordination, and attitude and confidence. Burlesque Body Sculpt is a fantastic, fun, and exciting approach to dance-fitness, toning and strengthening. Verandah Club, a state-of-the-art fitness facility at Hilton Anatole, features Burlesque Body Sculpt classes weekly.
