BurlyCon is so excited to be sponsoring the eighth annual Finishing School at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender this week. The Finishing School offers a rare, hands-on opportunity to learn from burlesque’s Living Legends, artists who pioneered the art form from the 1940s to the 1970s. Don’t miss your chance to tap into the unique skills and experience of these incredible performers!
If you missed him at BurlyCon last year, epic costumer and boylesque pioneer Bic Carroll is a MUST SEE! His Burlesque and the Mob presentation blew the roof off of BurlyCon 2014 and is sure to knock socks off in Vegas.
London legend and international superstar Gabriella Maze will be sharing techniques for effortlessly whirling and manipulating fabric capes, dusters, and wings. More amazing classes will be taught by Lottie the Body, Val Valentine, and Rita Alexander. Polish your stage presence and build up a sultry movement vocabulary that’s been decades in the making!
Unlike contemporary burlesque instructors, our Legends are a dwindling resource. The BHoF Finishing School offers a rare and precious opportunity for burlesque performers and devotees to bring this living history into their own art. Legends classes are selling out fast, so register today!
In addition to classes by the Legends themselves, BHoF Finishing School also offers community classes and panels with the superstars of contemporary burlesque, including BHoF and Miss Exotic World title holders. These discussions offer a truly broad perspective on the development of modern burlesque as it unfolds across the globe.
The BHoF Finishing School is not to be missed! Classes will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas. Check out the full list of classes for more details!
