These instructors come from all over the country (and sometimes the world) to teach and learn from their fellow burlesquers. The vibe is friendly, the skills are fierce, and the fun is not to be missed!
It’s a really good idea to look at the class list before coming out to BurlyCon. You’ll be prepared if there are any materials you need to bring with you for certain classes (like fans for fan dance courses, cosmetics for makeup classes, mats for yoga, etc.).
