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.
“I want to thank you again for such a wonderful experience. It was by far the highlight of [the year] for me!”

In this course we'll explore burlesque floorwork over three weeks. Students will learn how to get down to the floor and how to get back up again, classic floorwork moves, traveling, and transitions.
We'll be spending a lot of time on the floor, so please bring a yoga mat for comfort.
Students should have taken Introduction to Burlesque or the equivalent.
$90 for three classes

This four-week course teaches all the basics of burlesque: dance moves, striptease fundamentals, and so much more fun stuff. This week's move is The Grind, those oh-so teasing and pleasing types of hip circles that are essential to classic burlesque. Combine it with Week One's lesson, you get the classic "bump 'n' grind". The striptease lessons are removing Skirts and Shirts.
$35 drop-in, $30 pre-registered. Please note: pre-registration ends 24 hours prior to class. The drop-in price is payable at the door.
