The BHoF Finishing School presents
My Life Interviews and Title Holder Classes with Burlesque’s Living Legends!
The BHoF Finishing School connects burlesque artists directly to history during the Burlesque Hall of Fame weekender. Through interviews and classes, the program actively preserves burlesque history while supporting professional growth for today’s performers.
Powered by BurlyCon, the Finishing School offers two core learning experiences designed to honor legacy and support continued artistry.
- My Life Interviews are live conversations with burlesque’s living legends. The interviews are centered on career, lifestyle, creative practice, and firsthand history. These interviews document knowledge that might otherwise be lost. They give attendees rare access to personal stories from foundational figures in burlesque.
- Legends and Titleholder Classes are skill-based and professional development classes taught by living legends and current BHoF Titleholders. These sessions focus on technique, performance insight, and industry wisdom.
Held during Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas, BHoF Finishing School brings history, mentorship, and education into direct conversation. It serves burlesque artists who want deeper context for the art form. They reach beyond performance to illustrate how burlesque has been lived, sustained, and passed forward.

BHoF Titleholder Classes

10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. PDT
Jackson Square Room at the Orleans Hotel
A momentous opportunity to learn sensational skills from illuminating icons of the burlesque industry. If you’ve ever been part of a burlesque production, you know how hard it can be to find time to eat on show day. A portion of your BHoF Titleholder Class entry fee helps provide backstage tech food for our Legends and staff during the Titans of Tease tech rehearsal. How awesome is that?
