Communicating your vision with impact is possible and I can show you how!
BECAUSE EVERY BURLESQUE ARTIST & EVENT DESERVES TO BE MORE VISIBLE.
SEEN AT
Hi, I’m Sapphira, the creator of World Burlesque Day and Ibiza Burlesque Festival. For years I struggled to get out there in the cabaret world. My applications were often refused by shows and festivals I applied to… or worse… my emails got no reply at all. When out of frustration I started producing my own shows the nightmare continued and tickets would not sell. Then I changed a few things I was doing and it all changed for me!
I've made the mistakes so you don't have to.
For two years since the pandemic I have been teaching burlesque newcomers and professionals online and the Boost Your Burlesque Strategy courses now boasts 90 graduates from 25 countries.
Imagine having an international tribe of burlesque family to brainstorm ideas with!
Imagine networking with producers & performers on the same mentor course for future career growth!
You can.
It's been amazing creating this community and I had been working with Universities in my previous role so I adapted many methods of international distancing learning and I've loved every second of mentoring the groups.
I'm now on a mission to grow the community and World Burlesque Academy to one million members.
Boost Your Burlesque has generated
- 100 + press features for our members
- 1 billion media audience reached
- Radio & TV interviews plus print, podcasts, magazine covers
- 1 viral activation on Twitter with an MP in Scotland on the campaign trail joining a burlesque class
- Multi-lingual press opportunities - Finnish, Polish, Spanish, Swedish and English (we teach in English, our students translate into their native language and get features and interviews!)
To Boost Your Burlesque Strategy, you need to know some basic tools
- How to research & approach the burlesque industry
- How to write consciously in a compelling and relevant way with impact
- How to perform and present yourself online
- How to network linking with sponsors and other brands
- How to leverage the press
(believe me, they want to write about you and it helps your profile immeasurably which effects bookings, income and impact)
Now, with major press features and brand partnerships in 4 countries, having connected with the biggest names in business including Sir Richard Branson & Dita Von Teese, I’m committed to helping burlesque artists like you reach their goal of getting more from their burlesque and cabaret careers. I even attracted an invitation to publish my memoir from a global publishing house. Even if you only have a few acts in your repertoire and you’re just starting out, you will benefit from this course.

What others say
Ember Raven - Performer SWEDEN
I was quite hesitant to take this course, partly because it cost a lot of money that I did not know if it was going to be worth it, but also because I have a very busy schedule. But I do have to say that I really like this class. The online zoom and meetings every week meant that I could meet performers from all over the world and the app was very easy to use. Now, I am front cover and four page centrefold of the magazine, ReumatikerVärlden. My story has reached and inspired people with arthritis all over Sweden. This is a huge step in my mission to show people with disabilities that they belong on a stage.
Ruby Joule - Performer/Producer USA
The course showed me all kinds of tools to elevate the business side of my burlesque and also how to talk about burlesque in a way the professional world can relate to. To someone thinking about taking this course. I think no matter if you're just starting out, or if you've been in it for 15 years like me, this can definitely help you gain clarity about whats next.
Miss Money Penny - Performer UK
This is the most informative and personal course I have immersed in for a long time. Looking at the industry through the eyes of a true professional with honest perspectives and my interests at heart. Highly Recommend!
