Welcome
The Boston Academy of Burlesque Education (or B.A.B.E. for short) was founded in 2006 by Headmistress Mina Murray. We offer introductory and advanced classes and workshops in many different burlesque skills and burlesque-related arts. Our classes offer something for everyone, whether you're an experienced dancer looking to add something new to your repertoire or if you've never danced before.
Expose yourself to a whole new way of thinking about your body and your sexuality.
“I want to thank you again for such a wonderful experience. It was by far the highlight of [the year] for me!”

A chair is not just something you sit on. It's a dance partner, a stage, a support. In this class you will learn burlesque moves with and on a chair and how to put them together into a routine. Over four classes we'll unfold the magic of performing burlesque with a simple piece of furniture.
$120
This four-week course teaches all the basics of burlesque: dance moves, striptease fundamentals, and so much more fun stuff. Start things off right in class #1 with some Burlesque Basics. You'll learn that classic burlesque move, The Bump, plus how to turn your everyday steps in struts and slinky walks. For the striptease lesson, you'll be learning how to remove Long Gloves.
$35 drop-in, $30 pre-registered, $115 for all 4 classes, $99 Early Bird (ends one week before course starts). Please note: pre-registration ends 24 hours prior to class. The drop-in price is payable at the door.
