From New York, where American Burlesque Striptease was born, the NY School of Burlesque combines direct training from the most glamourous performers of the 1940s-1960s with the mischief and creativity of the most prolific neo-burlesque scene in the world!
Classic Moves of Burlesque Workshop!
Jo Weldon has learned directly from the ladies who performed during the golden age of twentieth century striptease, and she's ready to show you the best of the best!
Jo on CBS Sunday Morning:
Learn the sexy shimmy,
the tantalizing glove peel,
the devastating bump n grind, and the dazzling tassel-twirl
from an internationally recognized striptease expert
with decades of performing experience.
This is the most popular class at the New York School of Burlesque!
It's even more fun when you bring a friend!
Boas, gloves, and pasties will be provided to borrow.
This class is for women only.
You'll learn techniques for twirling nipple tassels to the left, to the right, in, out, one at a time, and on your back!
You will learn and perform a choreographed number, a full striptease from beginning to end. This is a great way to learn some of the elements of classic costuming and composing a burlesque number.
Please wear basic close-fitting simple clothing or yoga or workout clothes. Leggings are highly recommended. Heels are welcome but not required. You will be on your feet for two hours so choose footwera judiciously!
Bring a basic back-hooking bra in order to learn the straptease.
Online registration is closed.
We will retain four additional slots for attendees to pay cash, in exact change, at the door. Email schoolofburlesque@gmail.com to reserve one of these slots.
