ONE APPLICATION PER CLASS
Due to the restraints on input fields in this form, we ask you to submit one class at a time. As we mentioned during the introduction of this form, we suggest you type out all your answers in another document such as Word or Google Docs, then copy/paste your answers into this form. This allows you to submit your 2nd class faster (personal information needed again) and makes for easy recopy/paste if the form were to time out.


PRESENTER AND CLASS PHOTOS
In this form, you may upload up to three (3) photos.  Please try to include photos in different orientation. For example, one in portrait and one in landscape. Your class page on our website will look more dynamic with different photos rather than the same photo of you in multiple places.

In this form, each photo upload button uses different words, for example "document" or "image". This application does not allow certain fields to be used twice within one form, so we tricked a few fields to allow for additional photo uploads.


CLASS DESCRIPTION
The class description is like an emcee's introduction. It gives potential students what they need to know to get excited about the class, what they may need to know in order to be successful during class, and what they may expect to learn in class.

Class description examples
"Be guided in your exploration of the power and grace of classic ballet technique through the lens of burlesque's feminist ideals. Learn to engage your core, both physically and spiritually, through warm up routines inspired by traditional barre techniques. You will learn basic ballet movements and terminology and receive tips on how to internalize these exercises. Students should have a water bottle, heels you can dance in, a sweat band for their head, and be ready to move."

"As an advanced course, the expectation is you have at least 5 years of sewing machine and 10 years of hand-sewing experience."


CLASS TAGLINE
This is a one-line description of your class, in addition to the class title. It grabs the attention of the potential student and often provides a further description of the class.

Class tagline examples
"A primer on educating students in the online world utilizing student engagement techniques and encouraging connection"

"Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, Oh My!"


CLASS SUPPLIES
What should your students have on hand when they join your class, if anything?

"Feather fans will be covered. Other fans are welcome, but the instructor is not versed in other fan types."


CLASS TYPE
Class
A 55 or 85-minute session during which a presenter provides instruction to students in a lecture or interactive format.

BurlyLab
An 85 or 115-minute session during which a presenter provides instruction to a small set of students on how to build or create something. This is a hands-on, shop-style class.


STUDENT LEVEL
All
This class level is typically applicable to classes that are not built upon a specific discipline (dance, costuming, emceeing, production, etc.) or are based on "specifics" within a discipline that are broadly applicable and may be useful to anyone. This class must be accessible to beginning performers and interesting to those with more experience.

Beginner
This class is best suited for individuals with little or no training in the applicable discipline. Brand new performers just getting their feet wet and more experienced performers interested in trying something different may both find this class beneficial.

Intermediate
This class is best suited for individuals who have a basic understanding and some level of experience in the applicable discipline. Time spent on reviewing basics will be minimal, as the focus of this class is to build upon an existing foundation. Students with experience in related disciplines may find this class useful, but it is geared toward expected standards of the discipline or form.

Advanced
This class is best suited for individuals who are well-versed in the terminology and techniques of the application discipline, and who have had experience in applying these techniques. Advanced classes will focus on refining existing technique, offering new iterations of accepted standards, and pushing students to reach beyond their level of comfort. Advanced classes will move at a faster pace, and may cover more information than either intermediate or beginner classes. Student should have more than a passing understanding of the subject matter, as basics will not be covered or reviewed.

Master
This class is best suited for veteran burlesque individuals looking to further their professional skills and development. These classes are thought to be "collegiate-level" with unique focus and specialization to challenge the most seasoned of burlesque professionals. Students who are masters of their craft. Masters classes will focus on subjects related to pushing these burlesque professionals beyond their level of comfort, examining where their careers are now and how to expand and take their careers to another level.

BURLYCON ONLINE

Since BurlyCon moved to online education in 2020, we have seen the wonderful world of burlesque education and accessibility open up, and we are excited to continue connecting the burlesque industry across the globe. 

BurlyCon will now be offered as an in-person and online convention. We ask presenters from around the world to submit their class ideas to BurlyCon, whether they will attend in person or teach online.

This is what you will receive if you choose to pre-record your class for our online BurlyCon and your class is chosen:

• $10 additional pay 
  
• $10 per individual class purchased by students during BurlyCon and after BurlyCon
  

Online class materials are due to BurlyCon September 1, 2022. After that date, BurlyCon will not have the resources to include your online class. 

You are welcome to leave your recorded class on our website post-BurlyCon as part of *BurlyCon on Demand.

*BurlyCon on Demand is on our virtual learning platform. Think of our pay-per-view burlesque education platform, as a virtual “Blockbuster” or “Redbox” of burlesque classes. Students have the flexibility to take classes when it works in their schedule. BurlyCon would like to provide you, as a presenter, with this opportunity to access a new audience, a place to direct people to your recorded classes (rather than hosting them yourself), and give you a place to earn passive income.
