Welcome to the
Academy of Burlesque

“Since taking this class, I feel totally
comfortable about my body...and trust me,
I would never have said this 6 weeks ago!”

The Seattle based Academy of Burlesque was founded in 2003 by Miss Indigo Blue and offers courses in basic through intermediate Burlessque Arts. The Academy is the only institution of its kind in the Northwest. The courses are fun and informative, providing students with rich experiential knowledge about Burlesque history and culture. The practical application of the strip- and the -tease have transformed students’ experience of their own bodies, and has launched some into semi professional performance. Courses are offered year- round, with summers off during the busy Burlesque
performance circuit.
