Harlesque Academy by Harley Harpurr

After years of anticipation, Harlesque Academy is finally in business! Partnered at the unique and eclectic Vulture Academy, a space that combines a séance museum, taxidermy classes, and more! Where beauty meets the bizarre, this isn’t your typical burlesque academy. It's a celebration of self-expression, sexy fun, and quirky charm. This class is designed for beginners who are curious about burlesque, want to boost their body confidence, or simply want to have fun embracing their sensuality. We’ll guide you through everything you need to create your very first solo burlesque act and feel empowered, whether you're performing it on stage or privately for a special someone! Harlesque Academy is designed to embrace your inner femme fatale in a relaxed, judgment-free space where you can indulge in your sexy freedom of expression.
After the 4 week course, you’ll have the option to perform your solo act, but if you’re not quite ready for that, no problem! We’ll also have a fun group number for you to join in on. And if you’re just here for the fun and don’t want to perform, that’s perfectly fine too—performing is optional!
After completing the 4-week course at Harlesque Academy, you’ll have the opportunity to perform in any of Harlesque Academy shows, allowing you to continue honing your craft and showcasing your skills.
Each class will focus on different burlesque elements to help you craft your act. Everything you need to feel sexy and confident in your own skin, all with Harley’s signature mix of sweetness and spice. The vibe? Think seductive, playful, and full of sass—but never too serious. Wear whatever makes you feel like a goddess, or something that screams your personal magic. Low kitten heels are encouraged, but absolutely not required.

With Harley at the helm, you’ll not only learn the art of the tease but also have the chance to bond with like-minded individuals in a supportive, fun atmosphere. It’s more than just a class—it’s a community of empowered goddesses coming together to embrace their sensuality and creativity.
So, grab your heels, channel your inner goddess, and join us for an evening of Harlesque Burlesque, and unapologetic magic.
