Black Orchid Burlesque ZA

Our primary objective is to empower people by expressing inner sensuality through an art form that does not degrade one's self esteem, but elevates everyone to the status of sensual goddess/gods.

The pressures put on our bodies in today’s society have people down-playing their uniqueness, and coercing them into believing in the over-sexualized body ideals put forward by fashion mags and men’s magazines. Burlesque offers an escape from the confines of social constructs; giving people of all sorts a safe and creative space where they can feel good about themselves, for themselves. We aim to help people around the globe get access to this life-changing experience and  let people gain self acknowledgement on their own terms through engagement with classes and speciality workshops.

BOB, as it is fondly referred to by students,  has trained and performed alongside some of the best burlesque artistes across the country. Striving for uniqueness and individuality, performers are given a fully extensive burlesque education that goes beyond the 5, 6, 7, 8's; and provides a platform for both professional and budding burlesquers / boylesquers to explore.

Black Orchid Burlesque S.A.  continues to provide a vast array of dazzling premiere burlesque entertainment for any occasion  as well as designing and coordinating Themed Dinner Theatre packages for Restaurants, Corporate functions or Private Events.
