Solo Act Development

Begin your Solo Burlesque Performance journey with us at Maison Burlesque…

Private Tuition

At Maison Burlesque all our esteemed instructors are available for one-on-one burlesque or dance lessons, private tuition and act development.

Rather than run a rigid solo development course, at Maison Burlesque we encourage budding soloists to seek mentorship from one (or more) teachers, and work at a pace that best suits each individual.

Each of our instructors has a unique skill set, and they can offer you advice, instruction, and tips on developing and furthering your solo routines for burlesque.

To find out about rates & availability for private tuition, please contact your chosen teacher directly, or if you’re unsure who will best suit your needs, just email us at info@maisonburlesque.com.au and we can happily give you advice as to who will best suit your style.
