The BHoF Finishing School presents classes with burlesque Living Legends from the mid-twentieth century. Classes are held during the Burlesque Hall of Fame Exotic World Weekend in Las Vegas, and focus on lifestyle, skills, and history. These classes are a fantastic and opportunity to receive information passed on directly from one of our most finite resources: the performers of yesteryear. All classes are taught in conjunction with the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender June 2-5, 2016, and held in Bienneville Room G at the Orleans Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, NV. In curating, we attempt to present classes to include rarity of availability of a particular Legend, career history, and logistical concerns. The Finishing School is curated by Jo “Boobs: Weldon and Miss Indigo Blue, who serve as co-Directors of Education for the Burlesque Hall of Fame, and co-Curators of BurlyCon. Indigo and Jo evaluate prospective instructors, administer contracts, manage finances, assist with curriculum and class materials, and provide on-site assistants for the instructors. For 2014, we are proud to have BurlyCon alums/committee members Peekaboo Pointe, Darlinda Just Darlinda, and Lola Love as administrative assistants for this program.
