Muse School of Burlesque

We offer a range of classes throughout the year:

The Muse School of Burlesque focuses on teaching the foundations of burlesque to all students, with a focus on history and the roots of the art form. Drawing on the American Striptease style of the 1950s, and legends like Tempest Storm, Rusty Starr, Lili St Cyr, the bump and grind, shimmy and strut are essential moves every student will learn.

Once a strong foundation and vocabulary of burlesque movement is learned, students can expand and interpret the art of striptease to tell their own stories through performance.
