The Newbie's Guide To Burlesque Scholarship Winners have been chosen!

Did you apply for a scholarship and win?!

Today I chose the 2 burlesque newbies who will attend my upcoming virtual, on-demand course for beginner burlesque dancers, for free!

I want to thank everyone who helped spread the word, and especially those who applied! It was a tough decision!

These scholarships were exclusively for members of the BIPOC, AAPI, 2SLGBTQIA+ & Disabled communities.

If you weren't chosen this time, you will have the ability to sign up at discounted rates when the course is released to the public, very soon!

The two winners will receive a separate email confirmation about their win.

Unfortunately, I couldn't take everyone who applied, but I hope I can offer more scholarships in the future. You'll be the first to know if I do!

Need A Little Help?

When I was first starting out I remember being so confused about certain aspects of burlesque. I remember being stumped by things like "Where can I find costumes that are affordable but aren't a flapper costume?" "How can I find nice people who are cool and interested in burlesque?" "Who should I listen to??"

If you've had questions about getting started, performing or the business of burlesque, let me help! I'm offering 30-minute virtual Q&A Sessions with me for $25 starting today!
