But wait—who am I?

I’ve been doing burlesque for 10 yrs and coaching other professional performers for 5yrs. I’ve finally brought it online.

Known as a “Tall Glass of Bad Ass”, I am an award-winning burlesque performer, teacher and entrepreneur. She has toured North America’s major burlesque festivals, competed for “Queen of Burlesque” and “Best Debut” at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, and taught her signature workshops across the continent (“wow factor” and “breaking the 4th wall”). She works full time as an educator and performer in burlesque.

When I first started in burlesque I was stressed out and unsure every time I got onstage. After 10 yrs of trial and error, I have the tools to feel confident in my shows. I want to share these techniques and choices with you! I wish I had had this service when I first started.

Josephine has been training burlesque artists since she founded her burlesque academy, Arabesque Burlesque, in 2013. She is especially known for her skills in burlesque act development and workshopping and has ongoing relationships with burlesquers across the globe who work with her to meet their career and performance goals.
