Grace is Power
These are the premier performers in burlesque, and they have performed all over North America and Europe, as well as in Asia and Australia. Nobody has the experiences they have! Plus, they are warm, funny, engaging people who wil keep you entertained while they share their unique knowledge.
This class will certainly sell out.

She'll have your name and email address to check you in and validate your payment. Please bring a printout of your paypal receipt and give it to her. As with all School of Burlesque transactions, none of your information will be distributed anywhere to anyone.
Wear something comfortable that you can move in. This is not specifically about movement, but there will be some. You can bring water and snacks in, but you must leave the room as clean as you found it.
There will be breaks between classes.
You can bring a notebook. I'm bringing one!
CBS News is planning to be there to do a piece on the New York School of Burlesque. The flow of classes will not be affected.
About the Instructors:
Dirty Martini
Miss Exotic World 2004, Miss Dirty Martini was named the 'Sexpot Sophisticate' by New York Magazine. She has been described as"one of the best in burlesque" by the New York Times, "the queen of them all" by the London Telegraph, and "the decadent expression of female sensuality in action" by the NY Daily News. Since the mid 1990s she has had audiences on their feet applauding in venues as diverse as Carnegie Hall, the Museum of Sex, and Broadway Bares to infamous New York clubs and drag bars.
Julie Atlas Muz
Miss Exotic World and Miss Coney Island 2006, Julie Atlas Muz, is known for sucker punching the boundaries between performance art, dance and burlesque with dark, twisted, come-hither performances that have secured her place in the underworld of nightlife as well as the bastion of the art world. On any given night in New York City, you can see Julie Atlas Muz peeling off the outlandish costumes, covered in fake blood in the basement of a gay bar or co-hosting America’s Favorite Burlesque Gameshow This or That! on public access. A 2004 Whitney Biennial Artist and a 2005 Valencia Bienal Artist, Julie has swam as a mermaid in Europe’s largest saltwater aquarium with 450 tropical saltwater fish, 2 sharks and 1 eel. Julie continues to celebrate the ever political lineage of naked ladies in public spaces as set in motion by Lady Godiva.
Tigger!
The Original Mr. Exotic World! - Best Boylesque 2006 at The Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. 3 Golden Pastie Awards for "Performer Most Likely to Get Shut Down by the Law," "Most Unpredictable Performer," and "Most Likely to Be the Next Queen of England." Called "the King of Boylesque." The New York Times called Tigger a "hysterical and acrobatic man in drag," Next Magazine called him "the taboo-defying dynamo," and San Francisco tried to ban his striptease.
