Our Teachers

Hello again, I am Jo King, the founder of and principal teacher at the London Academy of Burlesque.  I am totally aware of the most important factors to consider when you want to book a burlesque class or event.  I know that the expertise, enthusiasm and personality of the teacher you have, will make all the difference to your experience!

I have been in this industry for over 30 years now and I am incredibly fussy about the people who represent my Academy and my positive, all-encompassing  ethos.  Therefore, I personally select and train all the London Academy of Burlesque teachers.  They are taught to follow and uphold the codes that continue to see our methods mimicked but our passion and quality of service unequalled.

The women below have trained long and hard to become qualified to my stringent and ultimately professional London Academy of Burlesque standards.

These fabulous women help to make our classes the best in the UK and beyond!
