Adult/Teen Classes
We are offering safe in-studio classes. In-studio classes require a mask and we are maintaining a minimum of 6' physical distance at all times. For more information on our COVID Policies and Procedures please visit this website:

To Register:
We are moving to a Session Registration Model! What does this mean?
Our classes meet once a week for six weeks. Our classes need a minimum of four students enrolled for the full session (all 6 classes) to remain active on our schedule. Classes that reach the 4-student enrollment minimum will then be able to offer drop-ins, meaning you can join and pay on a class-to-class basis. We highly encourage you to enroll ahead of time- it saves you money and helps our coaches and community!
How to enroll in a session:
1. Visit our registration software, Pike13 here. If you do not have a profile create a profile.
2. Purchase a 6 class pass for the type of class you would like (purple or green).

3. Either enroll yourself in each individual class in the session through the calendar or Email amelia@wisefoolnm.org the name and time of the classes you want to enroll in and our Adult Programs Coordinator will bulk enroll you.

Striptease as Reclamation - Queerlesque $25 per class From $22 per visit with (AC) Green Class Session Pass pass No purchase required to enroll
This is a safe space for a queer-centric deconstruction of burlesque. It's a movement class, and also a gender studies, burlesque theory, queer theory class mixed with self-confidence bootcamp. To reclaim the striptease, you'll learn the fundamentals of the stripping, teasing, performance art, gender performativity, and storytelling in the most theoretical way possible. Then we'll apply that theory to reconstruct those elements into Queerlesque: an artform that tells your story for a community that gets it.
This class is drop-in accessible, but each class synergizes with the next and the prior. Each week teaches a different tool, then applies all the tools collected thus far; the more tools you have, the easier. For stripping, bring a loose fitting tank top, crop top, or short sleeved shirt. Also bring something that opens from the front, like a button down or a jacket. If you've taken Queer Burlesque before, consider this the 201 version of that 101 class.
