A NEWBIE HAS BEEN SET A CHALLENGE - CAN YOU HELP?Hi,In advance, forgive me for any forum etiquette breaches but I'm new here but think perhaps I'll find the help I need. I have a facebook group called 101 Things To Do Before I'm 40 where friends pick tasks for me to do. One of them is, you've guessed it, a Burlesque performance. Can anyone recommend a good place to go for classes, does anyone have a show I could get involved in? Or perhaps you have other ideas as to how I can complete this task. To put it in context, I'm a writer and performer and may create an Edinburgh show or a book based on my experiences of the 101 Things... I'd be incredibly grateful for any your help, guidance and advice you can offer. If you'd like to learn more about the group, follow this link. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?...up.php?gid=60278544456&ref=mf Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefuly speak to you soon.

Depending on where you are based, there are a few classes around.
Have a look at the main BWI site, the classes page, there is an affiliates list for the classes Miss Ruby Rose recommends. http://www.burlesquewomensinstitute.com/burlesque_classes.html if you are in London there are a few shows who would give stage time to a newbie, but I think the Whoppie Clubs Tourment of Tease is the most well known. |

you should get in touch with rhymes with purple based in glasgow; they have fingers in many pies up there and can probably point you in the right direction of a performance slot and tutors...
