One of the foremost instructors in Seattle’s illustrious Burlesque scene, INGA has 15 years experience in Burlesque and Burlesque education, including 12 years as a lead instructor at the world-famous Miss Indigo Blue’s Academy of Burlesque, as well as an extensive background in ballet, jazz, tap, exotic dance, theater, and physical fitness. She specializes in aiding students to level-up their sexual stage craft by focusing on personal style and expression, character work, musicality, and movement nuance. INGA has helped countless Burlesquers not only find clarity and power in the acts she's workshopped with them, but discover insight and knowledge that helped them become better performers. For INGA, getting the opportunity to teach others has been the most rewarding and important experience of her career--Burlesque can change your life! “The truth about Burlesque is that it isn’t actually about costumes, props, or choreography—it’s about shared human experience. The thing the audience truly cares about most, in the end, is getting to watch and share in your particular story … and what all artists truly want, similarly, is to feel seen! So how do you want the audience to ‘see’ you? What do you want them to feel? They’ll remember that long after they forget the color of your costume.” - INGA
