Looking for a lesson in the art of seduction? The beautiful and talented Ivy Paige is bringing her renowned burlesque skills to the Leicester Square Theatre this Friday, with a new show that that’s as educational as it is entertaining!

Ivy’s School of Burlesque promises to be the funniest class in the West End, with plenty of naughtiness to boot. Expect detentions for skirts that aren’t short enough, extra-curricular activities from Britain’s finest burlesque stars and a practical demonstration in the “Art of the Tease” from Ivy herself.

This promises to be a night of giggles and glamour, so dig out your old school uniform and join Ivy and co for a class that’s definitely not on the National Curriculum! Remember, snogging behind the bike sheds is only permitted during the interval …
