Welcome to the Knotty Intensive
Interested in taking your first glittery step on your burlesque journey? Or are you just ready to shimmy your way to the next level?
If either of these apply to you then I welcome you to apply for the Knotty Intensive. A Ten week course where you will learn the ins and outs of the burlesque industry and what it means to be a professional in the field.
Group classes will take place between September 20th to November 22nd, 2026 on Sundays between 12pm and 2pm, with some exceptions. Plus each student will get two one-on-one classes during the session to be scheduled individually.
You will walk away with the core skills of a professional burlesque performer and history on the profession. As well as a fully formed act ready to submit to other shows with an included PAID student showcase to be held November 28th, 2026 at Arts Asylum in Brookside.
