Burlesque Blueprint is a series of intensive workshops designed to get to the core fundamentals of burlesque—confidence, presence, tease, and technique. Each session dives deep into essential skills, helping you embody the art form from the ground up. Its a great way to have a taste of whether its an art form you would love to explore.
💃 WORKSHOP 5: LAYERS OF PLAY - COSTUMING, REVEALS AND CORSETRY (10:00 AM – 11:30 AM)
Burlesque is about the reveal, not the remove — and in this workshop, we turn dressing and undressing into an artform. Whether you’re slipping off a skirt, shrugging out of a jacket, or unlacing a corset one breath at a time, this session teaches you how to strip with drama, intention, and irresistible control.
🍌 THE BIG REVEAL – BRAS, PASTIES & TASSEL TECHNIQUES (11:30 AM – 1:00 PM)
We explore the iconic final layer of burlesque: removing the bra, revealing pasties, and (if you dare)... the tassel twirl! This workshop is bold, cheeky, and deeply empowering — no matter what you choose to show.
This isn’t about nudity — it’s about agency, joy, and celebrating your body on your terms.
