Three Ways Burlesque Boosts Confidence

Burlesque is a body-positive industry and everyone is made to feel welcome and excepted for who they are. There are no preferences or boxes you need to tick before entering one of our burlesque classes we just want you to be you.

If you have never been to a burlesque class before or are not too familiar with the art of burlesque you may be forgiven for thinking that it only consists of taking your clothes off. Although burlesque is all things glittery and sparkly and a large amount of shimmying does happen, it goes much deeper than that. Burlesque offers ALL women (and men) the chance to explore their bodies in a safe, encouraging, supportive, confidence-boosting environment. Once you have experienced burlesque in this way your self-perception and attitude towards yourself will soon change.

EVERYBODY IS A BURLESQUE BODY

Burlesque is a celebration of body types and everybody fits into a burlesque body. Burlesque is one of the most diverse arts out there, and ALL bodies are welcome, including yours! Whatever your body shape or size, burlesque provides an all-inclusive, all-encouraging and all-confident space from which you can launch your shimmies, shakes and wobbly bits into the stratosphere. What’s more, you’ll look phenomenal whilst doing it!

THE FEELING OF EMPOWERMENT TO THE MAX

Being in a room full of women who are so positive, so encouraging and so empowering of one another is an amazing feeling for everyone involved. One thing about burlesque that is guaranteed to boost your confidence the most, is finding yourself amongst a wonderful group of like-minded friends who will never judge, never belittle and never demean anything that you do. The utter inclusion and empowerment that you will feel when you walk into one of our weekly classes is incomparable.

THE COSTUMES WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER FELT BEFORE

The costumes are glorious. Corsets, glitter, sparkles, sequins, lace, leather, feathers, and beautiful colours need we say more? There is little else that feels as good as putting on your corset, putting on your red lipstick and standing in front of the mirror. We guarantee that you will feel a million dollars in your burlesque finery. So much so, that you might even be caught wearing it to do the housework… I’m sure you wouldn’t be the first to do that either!
