Far from your traditional studio, our aim at Maison Burlesque is to provide delightful, memorable experiences for show ponies from all walks of life – incorporating a burlesque, vintage, and retro flair!

We offer a wide range of dance classes for multiple experience levels, in specialities including burlesque, character work, drag, cabaret, floorwork, chair dancing, belly dance, feather fans, silk fans, and more. We run 5 terms per year, and our timetable can vary. The choice of options is endless with our Showcase and Technique classes.

• Looking for just a taste of what we do? Or keen to finesse a specific skill? Our casual drop-in “Casual Classes” are perfect for those who don’t want to commit to a full term of burlesque, or are wanting a bit of extra practice. Available to drop in anytime! All upcoming classes will appear in chronological order on our enrolment page.
• Learn the art of burlesque, and an array of vintage dance styles, in our specialised Showcase Courses – with the chance to perform in our end of term showcase at Max Watts! All enrolments are for an 8 week course in our studio in Thornbury. Casual drop-ins are not available for these courses. Class numbers will be capped at a maximum of 14 students for personalised learning.

We also have a variety of upcoming workshops that we frequently host for a number of interests, including dance, skill refining, sewing, act development, show business discussions, and more.

We also have a fabulous Online platform if you prefer to join us in the comfort of your own home! With courses and classes ranging from burlesque dancing, strength & conditioning, vintage & drag makeup/hair, floorwork, costume creation, and more.
