Black Burlesque Scholarship
Our scholarship offers:
5 FREE EIH BURLESQUE CLASSES
When we started Empowerment in Heels in 2017, we aimed to create a welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy burlesque. We've noticed that our classes may not be easily available to BIPOC folks looking to connect with their bodies. Although we invite people of all levels, genders, orientations, and ethnicities, our community is mostly white cis-women. Inspired by a panel on anti-racism in burlesque at the Vancouver International Burlesque Festival in 2020, we are taking steps to improve accessibility. We're introducing a scholarship for the Black community initially, with plans to extend it to other marginalized groups.
