baptism of burlesque mentorship

The Baptism of Burlesque Mentorship is a transformative 10-week in-person journey into the sensual art of burlesque. This immersive mentorship brings your creative power to life, guiding you to develop connection, presence, and storytelling through embodiment, movement, and dance.

With both solo and ensemble pathways, Rebekah will guide you through dance, technique, mobility, movement, and somatic awareness. Drawing on the tools of dance, theatre, Jungian psychology, and shadow work, you will explore archetypes and personal narratives, transforming your story into a performance that radiates authenticity and truth.

No dance or performance experience is needed—just your courage and curiosity to step into something transformative, sensual, and entirely your own.

what will be expected of me?

04

When you enter this program you’ll be asked to trust your inner voice and be willing to peel back the layers of old identity, leaving self-doubt at the door. You’ll be expected to show up with dedication—engaging in the weekly sessions and the encouraged home, practices, reflections, and creative processes offered with honesty and intention. If weekly sessions are missed you are required to catch up on the recording and make contact with any questions that may present.

You will be asked to prioritise yourself and your needs during these 10 weeks. To take the time to honour the self-care guidance provided and to take the necessary space needed to nurture your emotional and physical wellbeing throughout the journey.  Finally, you’ll be invited to share your story on stage—offering a piece of yourself to a loving, supportive audience, and allowing your transformation to be witnessed.

What are the performance requirements?

This course is fully all-inclusive, and everything you need is already woven into the program. If at any point you feel called to explore something more personally, optional private sessions or studio time are available at a discounted rate.

Your program includes free access to all of Rebekah’s classes at SULT for the full 10 weeks.
If you’d like to expand your training and join classes with all SULT teachers, you can add a full-access pass for only $210 for the entire 10-week program. This is completely optional and offered as a special discounted inclusion for program participants.

Ensemble Piece (all students) – Costume Making Day
All materials for the ensemble costume will be provided for you. The only item we ask you to supply is one plain underwire bra in nude or blue. This can be something you already own or any simple, comfortable bra that fits you well.
Everything else for your ensemble look can be created from your own wardrobe or borrowed. You can keep it as simple or as elaborate as you wish — no additional spending is required.

Solo Mentorship Students
Solo performers will also need to compile a costume for their individual act. This, too, can be as simple or as detailed as you desire. It’s you and your story that the audience comes to witness — the costume is simply an extension of that.
Solo students also receive full access to Rara Claret’s personal wardrobe for the showcase if they wish to borrow or enhance pieces

What students are saying

  • Zani (solo mentorship)

    I love the way burlesque highlights the beauty in every body.
    Moving together with a group of women has allowed me
    to appreciate the uniqueness in all of our shapes and sizes.

  • Erin (solo mentorship)

    I am in awe of the program and the growth I have seen in myself over the ten weeks and my temple sisters. In week one, I was embarrassed and felt guilt and shame for wanting to move in sensual and erotic ways and felt so uncomfortable being witnessed, almost to the point of inability to move freely in solo lessons, because no way could I let someone witness  me  in a feminine erotic way that revealed my inner desires.  

    Forward to ten weeks later and I am on stage with not a thought of any of that and doing my thing, freely and raw and real and absolutely loving it. Wow! I am a little bit shocked to be honest. But I am stoked :)
