We're celebrating 8 years as an Atlanta arts studio!

Guess who is celebrating! We are! Metropolitan Studios is celebrating a huge moment this week! Today, August 15, we celebrate our 2016 Grand Opening! Our doors have been open to the #AtlantaArts community and scene, and the burlesque industry for eight years!

How'd we get to this moment? Commitment to that hard work magic!

Here's a snapshot of our history, steeped in #burlesque:

⭐️In 2013 The Atlanta School of Burlesque was founded by Ursula Undress. The first graduating students were Roula Roulette, A to Z, Nina Charise, Greta Von Danse, and Rena Rhinestone. From the school came The Candybox Revue in 2014.

⭐️For a time, neither had a permanent home for classes, rehearsals, community building or shows, so they venue hopped, but in 2016, Ursula, Roula, and Talloolah moved their passions into the century-plus year old house you know as Metropolitan Studios Arts & Movement Community.

⭐️They built this community on a foundation of equity, creativity, sharing, community, and a love for the arts. They listened to each other and to their peers, and most importantly: to their students. Everything that has been done with you in mind.

⭐️And that makes YOU part of our story and we want to celebrate your story!
