Hello and welcome to my web-site.
INFORMATION ON ALL MY UP AND
COMING EVENTS ARE ON OUR "NEWS" PAGE - DON'T FORGET TO HAVE A PEEK!
My name is Jo King and I've been working in the fascinating world of
erotic artistry for
30
years! Since my first performances in London's cabaret clubs in
the 1970s as a burlesque striptease artiste, I have entertained audiences
throughout the UK, Spain, Germany and the USA with my sexy,
tongue-in-cheek performances. I've had a varied and exciting career which has
taken me from performer to choreographer and teacher.
In 2000 I formed the London School of Striptease ( the very first
school of its kind in Europe)
unaware of the incredible
impact it would have. I wanted to create an environment
where women
are welcome to attend classes in all forms of erotic movement including; striptease, burlesque and
pole-dancing. My intention was (and still is) that I want women, all women, to rejoice
in the fact that they are female and accept and embrace the skin they are in!
Every woman deserves to feel fabulous, enticing
and seductive, regardless of age, shape or dancing ability. I passionately believe that
there are NO
barriers or limitations!
The true focus of the way I teach is to
help women to feel positive about themselves, internally and externally. I teach all aspects of
striptease, burlesque and erotic dance because I sincerely love my craft. These
are fun and exciting, visual art-forms which enable you to express a variety of
fantasies and liberate the essence of your sensuality.
Over the
years, many of my friends have said they would love to be able to perform a
striptease for their partner but that they don't know how. Well, I've used my
talents in my private life too and I promise you, most people find it
incredibly arousing to have a striptease performed just for them,
especially by someone they care about!
If you want to improve your self-image, impress a partner, become a professional performer or learn a new life-skill; the London School of Striptease
and the
London Academy of Burlesque can help you towards achieving your goal. Whatever your reason for learning; the experience can truly be life altering (check out my testimonials page).
I have worked in collaboration with many other well known
companies and organisations including; The International Workshop Festival, The
Southbank Centre, The Barbican, The Erotic Awards, Chelsea Arts Club, Sh! Women's Emporium, Whoopee!,
Graeae Theatre Company, and Coco de Mer (to name a select few).
I also choreograph actresses and dancers for adverts, film, television and
stage work, such as Immodesty Blaize's reverse striptease act in her highly
acclaimed West End show, all Miss Polly Rae's solo striptease acts, Jaime Murray in the BBC's "Hustle" and Poppy Elliot
in ITV's "The Vice".
I am frequently employed by the BBC as their burlesque expert. I have
taught and choreographed in numerous television documentaries for all BBC
channels, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 including;
Strip School, The Real Dirty Dancing, The Crippendales and most recently Dawn
Gets Naked with the lovely Dawn Porter.
I still
perform on occasion (simply because I can
and
I love
it!) You can see a little bit of my Soho Revue Bar performance as special guest
for The Hurly Burly show

I attended
The
Burlesque Hall of Fame's Miss
Exotic World
event in
Vegas
in June last year. I was honoured to be invited to perform at the
"Striptease Reunion"
night (now in its 51st year!) I was the first British performer to be
officially recognised therein as a
"burlesque
legend" which considering
the company I was in, is an accolade I will treasure forever! I was
introduced by the World Famous *BOB* and I took the stage
alongside some of America's greatest burlesque stars including;
the charming
talents of
Miss Nude
Universe 1972 - Tiffany Carter,
the foxy and formidably flexible
Miss Exotic World 1997 &1998 - Stephanie Blake,
the sassy and cheeky
Candy Baby
Caramelo
and the awesome, fire tasseling
sensation - the
Devil's own Mistress - Satan's Angel.
Our charming and delightful
hostess
Miss Dixie
Evans
was in the audience with a host
of other incredible performers and I felt like I'd gone to burlesque heaven!
I will have footage and photographs of my performance online soon.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and please remember - This is an
exciting chance to give your libido a wake-up call, increase your confidence,
and to unleash your unique and gorgeous, erotic spirit. I have taught more
than 9,000 women to date and now, it's your time to shine!
