Review
“Jo Weldon is the gold-standard for New Burlesque. A learned burly-q historian, a skilled and gracious teacher, and a breathtaking, world-class performer, she’s everything you could want in a shimmy queen. I am proud to call her my friend, and unashamed to admit she’s my idol.” (Lily Burana, author of Strip City: A Stripper's Farewell Journey Across America and head bombshell of Operation Bombshell: The Burlesque School for Military Wives)

“When you need an academic diatribe about the importance of burlesque in a gorgeous package served with sex appeal, intelligence and love, that’s Jo! This woman is passionate about burlesque and can recreate the sex appeal of the genre lost long ago.” (Dirty Martini, Muse to Karl Lagerfeld, Voted #1 Burlesque Performer in the World 2010)

Everything you need to get started
By JOS BKLYN
The revival of Burlesque, or the art of strip tease, has spread across the United States as a form of female empowerment, creativity and community. What Jo Weldon or "Jo Boobs" provides in this book is nothing short of extraordinary. To my knowledge nothing else exists out there in book form that gives such detailed instruction on working with pasties, fans, makeup, costume, use of glitter, rhinestones, body makeup, hair, and overall performance style and confidence. Jo is specific. Not only does she delve into the history of burlesque and how she herself transformed herself from a featured stripper in commercial clubs to the definitive Burlesque expert that she has become today. Jo also give tips on working with producers, increasing your likelihood of getting booked and general etiquette towards the audience and other performers. This is far from a fluff vanity piece. It is a practical handbook with real life working knowledge that any aspiring burlesque performer could use today to help them become the best performer they are capable of becoming.
The book is easy to read, contains detailed photographs of step by step instruction on working with fans, how to build pasties, and of course twirling tassels. Jo also includes hundreds of photographs of fellow burlesque artists from around the country. So even though some of the information is technical the book is far from boring.
And as a burlesque producer myself, I wish any newcomer would memorize chapter 10 which includes information for newcomers on the best ways of getting booked again and again. It is not just about being the best dancer, but showing respect towards others and earning trust so that people will want to hire you again and again. I wish this particular set of skills was taught everywhere!!
Burlesque artists all over the country who aren't lucky enough to get to take a class from Jo at the New York School of Burlesque can use this handbook to add that extra layer of professionalism and magic to their acts. And even fans of the art form will also enjoy reading about what makes Burlesque or Burley-Q so special.

Interested? Curious? The Burlesque Handbook!!
By Lisa Witkowski
International celebrity, performance artist, activist and Burlesque luminary Jo Weldon shares her legendary wealth of experience and wisdom through her recently published The Burlesque Handbook.
With a page turning combination of history, humor, sophistication and sensuality, The Burlesque Handbook is an inviting adventure, making Burlesque accessible to everyone from students to soccer moms and a few superstars along the way.
Photos and quotes from a myriad of well known Burlesque performers, famous photographers and celebrity makeup artists inspire grace, glamour, individual style and confidence for all types, shapes and sizes to celebrate their gorgeous, flirtatious and alluring selves.
As the founder and Headmistress of the New York School of Burlesque, Jo Weldon has a longstanding following of devoted students and performers who admire the fun, intelligence and approachability she presents through sincere interaction with her students. The instructions learned from her expertise are unforgettable.
Along with The Burlesque Handbook, treat yourself or share with friends the experience of "Showgirl School" presented by a true expert!
Honey and Spice: Sensual and Fierce Burlesque
Striptease for Burlesque, Exotic Dance & Real Life
Silk and Feathers: Burlesque Fan Dance
The Burlesque Handbook is the ideal addition to the bookshelf for any self assured woman or well-read man. After purchasing 5 copies to share with friends (who are keeping this book to read again and again!), I also plan to give more as gifts for "Back-to-College Care Packages", Bachelorette Celebrations or "Just Because".

An entertaining book for those curious in burlesque, newbies and experienced performers!
By Anja Keister
One part memoir, another part history lessons and a whole lot of how-to, this book is quite applicable to whatever one might be looking for in a burlesque book. It works for the curious, the newbies and those already performing. I wish I would have had this book when I first started getting into the world of Burlesque for I learned and read a lot about backstage etiquette and creating routines that I had to learn the hard way or have been struggling with.
Another great thing about the book is the way Jo makes you feel like you know all these performers as well. She frequently discusses their acts, their advice and uses her own personal pictures, making it seem like you are looking through someone's (fun and scandalous) scrap-book.
The only parts of the book that weren't enthralling for me were her step by step instructions on the NYSoB routine and fan dance techniques, but that is only because I took the 4-week essentials burlesque class where I was taught these techniques and moves in person, so reading them, although a good reminder, just couldn't live up to the real experience. Really though, I think that says something about the Burlesque Handbook, the only negative was that I was given some of the information from the author, herself, in person!
