Where can you find us?
We are located at Kyrre Texnæs Studio, across the street from Vulkan Flerbrukshall.
 

Course information:

During our longer courses, we share additional information and videos in a dedicated Facebook group. You’ll receive the link after the first day of the course. Only registered participants who have paid the course fee will be added to the group.

If you don’t use Facebook but still want access to the information, please contact us by email and we’ll make sure you receive what you need.

​

Getting changed:
Changing rooms are available at the far end of Vulkan Flerbrukshall where you can change prior to class, the entrance is right in front of the studio.
We are allowed to enter the studio when the class starts, so please come finished changing, or as close to finished as possible, as there are no changing rooms inside the studio. Please don’t enter the studio before your scheduled class time, as another class may still be in session.

​

Illness:
We want you to help us reduce the risk of spreading infection. If you have any symptoms, you must stay home. This applies to, for example, symptoms of flu, covid, stomach bugs, etc., since we will be in close contact with each other during the classes.

​

We appreciate if you send us a message if you are sick or for some other reason will not be attending the class, then we know you're ok and we will see you next time.​

In the event of an instructor's illness, we will try to have a suitable substitute for the class. If this is not possible, you will be offered the opportunity to make up the lesson at a later date.​

Come as you are; comfort first, sparkle optional.
For most classes, we recommend:
 

• Comfortable clothing you can move in: Leggings, shorts, a soft top, or anything that lets you stretch, bend, and shimmy with ease.

• Heels (optional): If your class includes heels technique, bring a pair of stable heels you feel safe in. Dance heels are great, but everyday heels work too (we recommend a 5-7 cm height). Barefoot or socks are always welcome.

• Layers you can play with: A shirt, cardigan, robe, or scarf can be fun for peel technique and character work, but not required.

• Knee pads (optional): Some classes include floorwork, it will be written in the class description if you're recommended to bring them. If you have knee pads, bring them. If not, no stress.
   

You don’t need much, just the essentials:

• A water bottle: We move, we sweat, we hydrate.

• A positive attitude and curiosity: Truly the most important things you can bring.

• Props (only if your teacher asks for them): For example gloves, fans, or tassels. If a class requires props, you’ll get a message in advance.

We want every student to feel welcome, safe, and supported at the Oslo School of Burlesque. If you have access needs (big or small) we encourage you to let us know before your first class so we can make the experience as comfortable as possible.
 

Physical Accessibility

• Our studio is located down a short flight of stairs and is unfortunately not step‑free. If you use mobility aids or have specific access needs, please reach out and we’ll do our best to support you and discuss possible accommodations.

• Many exercises can be modified for seated or low‑impact participation.

• Floorwork is always optional, and alternatives will be offered when you let us know.
   

Sensory & Comfort Needs

• You are welcome to take breaks at any time.

• Music volume can be adjusted if needed.

• If you prefer not to participate in certain exercises (e.g., heels, peel work), that’s completely okay - your comfort comes first.
   

Emotional & Social Safety

• We prioritise consent, respect, and a supportive environment.

• No one is ever required to perform, share, or be in the spotlight unless they want to.

• You are encouraged to set your own boundaries and move at your own pace.
   

Communication

If you have questions or want to discuss accommodations in advance, you can always reach out. We’re here to help you feel at home from the moment you walk in.

• Please arrive on time and wait outside until your class begins

• Let your instructor know about injuries

• Phones on silent

• Listen when the instructor is talking

• Respect each other’s boundaries

• Celebrate others, don’t compare

• No filming unless the teacher explicitly allows it

• Consent culture: always ask before touching someone else or their belongings

• If you are late, sneak into the class without drawing any attention from the instructor

• All classes must be finished on time, therefore the instructor will start to end the class about 5 minutes before to ensure there is enough time for clean up and getting changed
