The New York School of Burlesque has been producing workshops and articles related to the business of burlesque for over ten years. Jo Weldon's chapter on professional etiquette in The Burlesque Handbook has been praised by producers and venues as a great resource for new performers.
Many of the resources we provide are free. We aim to help make burlesque more sustainably professional as well as more outrageously creative.

Our Business of Burlesque program reflects The New York School of Burlesque's commitment to help performers not only create art and entertainment, but to get it onstage.
We also intend to help improve the world's view of burlesque with professionalism and the resources performers need to create high-quality routines.
We have provided classes on getting booked, producing shows, taxes for performers, and more.
If there is a business class you would like to teach or take, please let us know at headmistress@schoolofburlesque.com.
