Empowerment In Heels – California

After attending the first Women’s March in 2017, Miss Marquez was inspired to start a Burlesque School focused on Empowerment as a way to provide a safe space for all bodies to explore the beauty and catharsis of Burlesque. With an emphasis on exploring one’s own individual sexual expression, Empowerment Heels strives to be an inclusive environment for all body shapes, genders, races, ethnicities, and sexual orientations.

Empowerment in Heels first ventured into the production realm to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the first class. That production foray turned into monthly residencies and the creation of Moonlighting Menagerie, yet another safe space where burlesque professionals, burlesque hobbyists, and burlesque newbies could venture into the performing realm, unlike any seen previously.

With their supportive environment and diverse casts not just in identities, but also in performance styles, they are happy to continue raising the bar for burlesque in Los Angeles. They can proudly state that Moonlighting Menagerie established EIH as a launch pad for so many of your favorite burlesque performers and producers in Los Angeles, many of whom continue to perform and take class with us.

Since 2017 Empowerment in Heels has become a pillar in the Los Angeles Burlesque Community, not only offering weekly classes, but also Monthly Shows, Specialty Workshops, Private Coaching, and more.
