DOUBLE FEATURE GUIDELINES

We are splitting the showcase into TWO events so we can fit even more wonderful patrons into the audience and raise even MORE money for Ampersand! With this, the cover of $15 only covers ONE showing. If you would like to watch both shows, you will have to pay BOTH covers.

Tickets are sold on a first come, first serve basis with zero pre-sale.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The students will be performing burlesque routines that they have created, from costuming to choreography, under the guidance of their beginner burlesque course from Träshique.

For one night only, we are celebrating the achievements of the Beginner I AND Beginner II burlesque students,

For many, it will be their first time in front of an audience, SO BRING YOUR LOUDEST CHEERS!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All proceeds go to benefit the Ampersand Sexual Violence Resource Center of the Bluegrass.

Each student will have given their all in over eight weeks of classes learning to tease, twirl, and tantalize in all manners and varieties of ways. From now until the show, they will be continuing their education leading up to this exclusive and intimate glimpse into their studies.
