Jo King

We love Jo, they love Jo, you’ll love Jo! Read more about the amazing work of Jo King and the people she has inspired.

My self-confidence, as a woman and as a disabled woman, has soared since attending Jo’s courses. I feel so much more comfortable about my body, how I move and how sexy I can be. Jo makes every woman feel like a goddess! Her enthusiasm is infectious, her words so wise and her laugh so wicked! She works hard to make her classes accessible for every woman – whoever they are. She’s taught me that whatever you look like, whatever size or shape you are, you have the ability to be sexy. Every woman should have the chance to work with Jo King! Having done two courses with her, I’m now evangelical about what she does and how she does it.

Jo King ran the UK’s largest Burlesque Jam for us in the Clore Ballroom at the Royal Festival Hall where she taught a combination of basic burlesque dance moves and confidence building techniques to over 200 women. Jo’s passion, enthusiasm and professionalism mean that every event is a success.

Tamsin Ace

Participation Programmer (Dance & Performance), Southbank Centre

Jo choreographed the opening routine for my critically acclaimed show. An otherwise technically difficult performance to achieve was transformed into a sequence that appeared artful and effortless to the audience. Jo pushed me to achieve the absolute best out of the piece, with meticulous attention to detail. She really is a pleasure to work with.

Immodesty Blaize

International Burlesque Superstar

I def feel a change in me. Giving myself permission is so powerful. Why did no-one tell me this before! You’re such an inspiration.

Agyness Deyn

Actress & Ex-Supermodel

Meeting Jo was a pivotal moment in my life; not only did she teach me the language and vernacular of burlesque, she made me fall in love with it. Throughout my career she has supported me and I never stop learning from her. We call her Mama Jojo because she is the burlesque mama. The contemporary burlesque scene owes a debt of gratitude to this powerhouse.

I love making people’s dreams come true. I want all my students to learn how to love themselves – and I do this through the hallmarks of burlesque; movement, sensuality, glitz, glamour and a lot of laughter. So often in my experience, people have never been told that they’re attractive, sexy or worthwhile. I want everyone to feel comfortable and fabulous in their own skin and it starts by helping to build their self-confidence.
