The Limitless Age of Burlesque
Burlesque Really Is for Everyone
One of the most appealing things about joining a burlesque class is knowing that burlesque truly is for everyone. Burlesque recognises that we all have different abilities. What one person may find easy, another may find challenging, and that is completely okay. Burlesque teaches us to respect these differences, adapt to our own bodies, and still look fabulous while doing it.
Age has absolutely nothing to do with burlesque. There is no such thing as being too old for burlesque. Burlesque is a celebration of women coming together to be creative, confident, and comfortable in their own skin. Your age does not define your ability to dance, perform, or express yourself. In burlesque, age is simply irrelevant.
Burlesque was built by women we now regard as legends, and these women continue to inspire and drive the art form forward. Every year, they are celebrated at BHOF, where their sass, confidence, and stage presence are met with cheers and admiration. No one questions their age. Instead, they are honoured as icons of the burlesque world.
Age Is Just a Number
One of the most beautiful things about burlesque is that beauty is found in difference. Variety is celebrated, individuality is encouraged, and age simply does not matter. Burlesque is one of the most inclusive and diverse art forms, welcoming women of all ages, including yours.
Whatever your age, burlesque offers a supportive and encouraging environment where you can learn to shimmy, shake, and move your body in a way that feels right for you, all while feeling confident and sensational.
Our classes include women from the age of 25 right through to 73. Often, our older ladies can do things that our younger ladies cannot, and vice versa. That is the magic of burlesque. Every age brings something unique to the room. Our classes are filled with creative, colourful, and diverse women, and we would not have it any other way. Together, we form a powerful group of extraordinary women creating something truly special.
The Importance of Your Burlesque Family
When you step into one of our classes, you are stepping into a room full of supportive, encouraging, and empowering women. This is your burlesque family. One of the greatest confidence boosters is finding yourself surrounded by like-minded women who will never judge, belittle, or criticise you.
Instead, your burlesque family will cheer you on, support you when you need encouragement, help you through tricky moves, laugh with you when a prop has a mind of its own, and celebrate every achievement along the way. Most importantly, they will be proud to watch you grow into the confident burlesque goddess you were always meant to be.
From the moment you walk through the door, you are welcomed, no matter your age. At Burlesque With Paris, we believe that as you grow older, you become more. Your age is simply a number, a number of sparkles on a corset, a number of feathers in a fan, a number of petals scattered across the stage. We all carry our own number, and that is what makes each of us unique within our burlesque family.
It is not your age that matters, but what you choose to do with it. Do not let age be the reason you miss out.
