3 Reasons to Celebrate Atlanta Pride with Metropolitan Studios

At Metropolitan Studios, Pride isn’t a campaign—it’s who we are. As Atlanta’s LGBTQ-owned home for burlesque classes and shows, we celebrate queer joy, art, and expression every day of the year.

Here are three reasons why you should celebrate Pride with us:

1. We Don’t Just Support the LGBTQ+ Community—We Are the Community

Metropolitan Studios is queer-owned and operated. Our team, many performers, burlesque students, and our audience reflect the full, vibrant spectrum of the LGBTQ+ experience. When you walk through our doors, you're entering a space built by us.

2. Our Stage Is a Platform for Bold, Diverse, and Unapologetic Expression

From burlesque shows that center marginalized voices to classes that embrace every body, our work is rooted in self-expression and liberation. Every twirl, strut, and shimmy tells a story that challenges the norm and celebrates individuality.

3. Pride Is Better When It Moves You

Literally. Whether you’re watching our troupe perform at Atlanta Pride, taking your first burlesque class with our Atlanta School of Burlesque, or cheering in the front row of a show, you’ll feel the energy of a space that thrives on movement, joy, and community.

🧡 Come celebrate with us this June (and beyond).

Check out our shows, sign up for a class, and experience the magic of a space where being yourself is the whole point.
