About the event

Intro to Burlesque (4 week series)
Tease Academy Presents: Intro to Burlesque
Because everyone deserves a little sparkle and a whole lotta shimmy.

Welcome to your first step into the glittering, tassel-twirling world of burlesque! Whether you're stage-curious or already practicing your bump-n-grind in the mirror, this 4-week course is your playful guide to becoming the boldest, most bedazzled version of yourself. Each week is themed, fabulous, and full of juicy tips from seasoned performers. A graduation showcase will be held September 28th with Sunday Night Burlesque for students that are wanting to hit the stage!

Burlesque Iconic Moves for your glittery toolkit! (7:15p - 8:15p)

Musicality - Feel the beat, flaunt the heat. (7:15p - 8:15p)

Week three: August 21st ----------------------------------------
Tassel Twirling (6:15p - 7:15p)

Hide A Cheek - Business in the front, rhinestones in the back. (7:15p - 8:15p)
This course, we’re getting hands on, literally! Learn how to design, decorate, and bedazzle your own burlesque bra and panties with show-stopping flair. Whether you’re going for glamorous, cheeky, or downright scandalous, we got you covered! Led by Hellen Dee Bedd!


Week four: August 28th --------------------------------------
The Art of the Tease (6:15p - 7:15p)
Uncover the flirty fundamentals of burlesque! Learn what makes burlesque more than just striptease—build presence, command attention, and practice the fine art of keeping 'em guessing. Eye contact, peel reveals, and the glorious pause? Oh yes. Led by Muff Jones!
