Burlesque Performance Series at Dad’s Garage

This burlesque performance series is designed to give participants the knowledge, skills, and confidence to build a solo burlesque performance. From concept to stage-ready performance, this creative container will offer methods of support, sustainability, and presence to nourish the vulnerable process of the ecdysiast. Students will have the opportunity to present their acts on stage at an intimate showcase at the end of the series. 

These classes are for all bodies, genders, and abilities. No previous burlesque or dance experience required.

Ivee The Amazon (She/They) is a warrior vixen with a purpose. 
On a journey to craft and share movement art that not only titillates the audience but also enlightens them, Ivee leads the observer on a journey of self-discovery, awakening dormant desires as the story of her art unfolds.

With 10+ years of acting and dance experience, Ivee uses techniques from both creative fields to inform her performance and teaching methods. As an instructor, she aims to provide techniques to craft stories and dive deep into self-expression, opening up new avenues for revolutionary artistic embodiment for her students. 
Some of her achievements as a performer are, becoming a member of the Burly Babes Union, being Nominated for Wussy Mag Burlesque Performer of the Year 2024, and receiving the Lesli Cunningham Scholarship at the Atlanta School of Burlesque. As Ivee continues to grow as a burlesque performer, she's excited for the next evolution of her self-expression, and you should be, too.
