About the Instructor

Petty Treason

What she's about to do for you should be a felony! Petty Treason entered the burlesque scene first in 2016, but her passion for performance began over 20 years ago in the theater. After beginning her burly journey in Iowa, Petty hit the road for Minneapolis, where she has been performing with multiple locally produced burlesque shows for the past four years. Petty is the producer of "Whose Bra is it Anyway?"- a quarterly burlesque/ improv show. She is a co- producer of 'The Nudie Nubie Show- An Amateur Reveal' which has taken the virtual stage, as well as "Capital City Cabaret"- a monthly burlesque show in Saint Paul. Petty is a teacher at the Rose Academy of Burlesque, along with headmistress Deeva Rose. 

Whether performing in a play or stripping on stage, Petty brings her love of storytelling into every act.. She'll screw you over for no good reason, she's Petty Treason!
