About Canberra Burlesque Academy
Canberra Burlesque Academy is the city's home for burlesque, drag and movement-based performance, running classes out of Humpy Hall in Scullin and the Tuggeranong Arts Centre. Built around inclusivity and self-expression, it has become a place where students of every body, background and experience level feel genuinely welcome.
The academy offers a structured term-based curriculum that takes complete beginners through to advanced performers, alongside specialty workshops in skills like silk fan dancing, floorwork and drag. Two showcases each year give students the chance to step on stage and celebrate what they have learned in a supportive, encouraging setting.
More than a dance class, the academy is about confidence, community and the freedom to explore movement on your own terms. With warm, supportive instructors and an emphasis on a safe and inclusive space, it suits Canberra locals looking for something creative, empowering and a little bit different, whether they want a regular term course, a one-off workshop, or a memorable hens party experience.
