What happens when a small group of women come together on a Sunday afternoon in our Columbus boudoir studio? Add in pasties with tassels and long satin evening gloves and what do you have? No, it’s not a Columbus burlesque show, it’s a Band of Babes burlesque class, of course!

We invited Ruby Royale  to lead our group of interested women from our Band of Babes community in a beginner’s burlesque workshop.  And we had a blast!  Ruby is a beautiful, tall, self-proclaimed “amazonian goddess” and she is one heck of a burlesque dancer!  Va-va-voom! Ruby is also co-founder of Goddess Collective Burlesque in Athens, OH.  Our group of Babes had so much fun learning some of the basic burlesque movements like the shimmy, the bump and grind, and of course, the glove peel. We even created a Tik Tok that you’ll want to check out!
