Perform With PBA
Performance is one of the many ways to experience burlesque at Philadelphia Burlesque Academy. Whether you're interested in performing with a group, creating an original act, or cheering on our students from the audience, there's a place for you here.
Performance Is for Every Kind of Performer
Some students perform for the very first time in one of our Group Choreography Performance Series.
Others dive into creating their original solo work through Burlesque Act Development (BAD).
Some return season after season to continue exploring, creating, and performing at their own pace.
At PBA, performance isn't about reaching an end product. It's about discovering what burlesque means to you.
