Classes with Burlesque Legends!
Learn from the first and the best!
May 31–June 3
For the fifth blockbuster year, the Burlesque Hall of Fame Finishing School offers rare, hands-on workshops with Living Legends of the art of Burlesque. These classes are a special opportunity to learn directly from seasoned performers and headliners, each of whom has her own unique perspective on the art, and shares directly from her own experience.
Produced by the BurlyCon Burlesque Educational Convention, offerings are curated by Hall of Fame Co-Directors of Education, Jo "Boobs" Weldon (New York School of Burlesque) and Miss Indigo Blue (Seattle Academy of Burlesque), and in the past have included workshops with such notable stars as Big Fannie Annie (2009), Candy "Baby" Carmello (2010), Dee Milo (2009), Joan Arline, Marinka (2008), Satan's Angel (2010), Toni Elling (2009), the late Tura Satana (2008), and Wild Cherry (2008).
This year's Burlesque Hall of Fame Finishing School classes offer the perfect opportunity for devotees of the Art of Burlesque to expand their knowledge.

Stocking Tease

Burlesque on the Wild Side
with Camille 2000
Learn how to walk, move, and costume yourself to bring out the passion in your burlesque! As Camille showed when she mounted the stage at the Orleans in 2010, even the most elegant fan dance has more impact when you move with feline power and high energy. She will walk you through a few of her signature moves so you can feel the fire, and teach you about fierce attitude so you can develop your own signature moves.
