Burlesque Workshops:

The Ministry of Burlesque have been running nationwide classes for both beginners and the more experienced burlesque artistes for several years. If you're unsure about signing up to a class then why not pick up their instructional DVD which comes highly recommended.

Burlesque Baby run great burlesque classes around London (including one just yards from our boutique in Portobello). You might recognise some of the instructors as both Slinky Sparkles and Annette Bette who regularly model for us teach some of the workshops.

Alternatively, if striptease is more your thing then check out Jo King's London School of Striptease. Jo has just celebrated her 30th year in the industry and combines a great personality with a wealth of striptease knowledge.

Dr Sketchy London:

Dr Sketchy is popular worldwide. It combines burlesque performances with art in a relaxed atmosphere (the emphasis is most definitely on having fun as opposed to high art!) Dr Sketchy London is run by Clare who also manages our press department. Dr Sketchy Nottingham is run by Charlotte who is the illustrator for our t shirts and bags.
