Burlesque
Burlesque totally changed my life. I’m not kidding. My thoughts about my body, aging, sexuality, art, activism, and feminism have all been transformed by burlesque. More than 15 years have passed since I started performing burlesque and I am still intrigued by this art form.
Stripping in an artful, sexy, funny, dirty, clumsy, beautiful, disturbing, weird, and wonderful way is one of my VERY favourite things to do. Teaching other people how to do it is a close second!
Catch me on the stage or jump down the rabbit hole and join one of my classes.
Beginners
LEARN TO LOVE YOUR JIGGLY BITTS BURLESQUE BASICS & BEYOND
How would it feel to love the body you’re in, create something extraordinary, let go of old ways of being that are no longer serving you and do it all in an environment that is loving, supportive, and FUN?!?
Let’s create magic together ♥
We will go over all the basics of burlesque, throw in a dash of Tantric ritual, release old blocks that have been holding your sexy back, and create a space for you to step into your most creative, sexy, authentic self.
By the end of this session you will have created a burlesque number that you can share with a loved one, present in class, or perform onstage at the next Brand New Boobies Showcase, have tapped into your own wealth of sexy and creative magic, and connected with a community where you are loved as you are and supported (as well as having spent 10 weeks having an incredible amount of fun)!

“If I had started in burlesque without taking this class first, I don’t think I would be a fraction of the performer I am today. Rosie gives you the tools to create the strongest foundation a performer can have: unrelenting self-love and body confidence. Burlesque is this incredible art form that reaches into your heart and asks you to be vulnerable with yourself. It’s so much more than tassel twirling and cheering and leering. It’s strength, community, and embracing who you are. Rosie’s classes perfectly embody the deeper meaning behind burlesque, and they are truly a life-changing experience.
Everyone deserves to connect with themselves, and to love themselves. Whether you want to be a professional performer, or you just need a space to grow and be vulnerable - you will find what you need

““Rosie is a rare combination of empathetic compassion and provocative energy. She lets you dig deep and discover what lies beneath the surface of your own temptations. From shimmies and grinds, to tantalizing removals and teases, she guides and implores you to release your inner diva on stage. Rosie creates a welcoming and safe space for her students to explore all aspects of burlesque and beyond. She is a true inspiration and a principal figure in our community.”
