A note from Annie:
I remember the first time I stepped into a burlesque class. It felt like entering a new world—a place to shed every label and just be. Burlesque became a way to rediscover who I am, uncovering a little more with each class.
For over 15 years, I’ve performed and taught burlesque worldwide, but my heart is in creating a space where any woman—regardless of age, size, or background—can find her power. Burlesque isn’t just about the stage; it’s about stepping into yourself, moving with confidence, and connecting with an unapologetic part of you.
Come as you are, and let’s explore what’s possible.

What should I wear?
Comfortable clothing that you can move in! Think yoga pants, a fitted top, and bare feet or dance shoes. We’ll add in layers like gloves, boas, or other accessories as we go.

No performance is required, but if you feel inspired to take the stage, I’ll be there to guide and support you!
