World Famous Bob

The World Famous *BOB*'s Ultimate Self Confidence class is back and available now! It always sells out in advance, so please do not wait to register. If you'd like to register with a friend, please register both of you at the same time as we will not be able to make additional space if they miss registering before it sells out.

About this Class

Ultimate Self Confidence! is the radical and astonishing workshop that everyone is talking about! Nothing is hotter or more powerful than self-confidence, and World Famous *BOB* has created a workshop to encourage women* to take larger steps towards who they ultimately want to be—whether it is in everyday life situations or on stage.

Confidence is something that is only true when it is created by ourselves, and *BOB* will teach you how to refuse to let your imperfections define you, and how to give yourself permission to feel beautiful and valuable all the time. She will guide you through a series of fun and sometimes challenging exercises to create "courage references" that are guaranteed to stay with you long after you've left class. Come ready to work and be prepared to amaze even yourself! Please bring a bottle of water to class.

*BOB*'s intense and astonishing boundary-shattering class is known for changing lives and opening minds. This goes way beyond a pep talk: You will be exposed, your body fears will be challenged, and you will prevail. Find out why *BOB* won the New York Burlesque Festival Golden Pastie Award for "Most Inspiring Performer"! (Sharing the title with another New York favorite, Little Brooklyn.)

Student Testimonials about
World Famous *BOB*:

"I just have to write a fan letter about a School of Burlesque class I took last night with World Famous *BOB*: I LOVED IT!! She was amazingly sweet and fun, and I loved hearing her tips about wigs and lashes. I would take another class with her in a heartbeat. As I told *BOB* last night, I took her workshop more to hear what she has to say about confidence; just by being in her presence, I learned SO MUCH. One of the other participants said we should all hang out with *BOB* every Monday night...I agree!"
–Charlotte

"Just HAD to mention, the class was AMAZING! I've never felt better about being a young lady in my life, it was definitely one of the best evenings Ive had in a long time, and thats saying alot for a 22 yr old college student.. *BOB* is a great inspiration and so empowering, I hope she has more classes in the future for us insecure ladies.. that dont know how to take a damn compliment!"
–Tiny

"I LOVED *BOB*'s self-esteem class. It was a very emotional experience for me. I delved deeper than I'd expected. *BOB* really shares a lot of her personal experiences and vulnerability and it helped me see how similar we all are. I showed something in the class that I spend my entire life making sure I never reveal...my belly and that was a huge moment for me.

Thanks for offering the class. It really set me further along on the right path to having the right attitude and self-awareness I need to be a better performer and a happier woman. And thanks to *BOB* for being so open with the class and sharing her journey to help us with ours."
–Dulce De Leche

About The World Famous *BOB*

The World Famous *BOB* began her career as a go-go dancer in a cage in a nightclub in a small town in California at the tender age of 19. The first night she EVER stepped up on stage a group of obnoxious college boys screamed over the music "Hey look at the fat girl in her underwear!" She made a life long decision right then and there to BE anything she wanted, even the fat girl in the underwear, and now 16 years later she'd like to share with you the tools of how to make powerful decisions ON THE SPOT about not only who you REALLY ARE as a performer, but also as a woman.

World Famous Bob

A burlesque star who's travelled all over the world for 16 years including to Vienna, Paris, Canada, Amsterdam, and numerous U.S. Cities, she is most proud of her ongoing conversation with women everywhere about our value and accessing our true selves. A self described F to F (female to female) *BOB* started in gay clubs & bars and if you want to know glamour basics there are no better teachers than Drag Queens! True inner self confidence is something we can learn from each other on, off, & backstage everyday. See you in class!
