We have had the pleasure of mentoring many performers who you will know and love in the industry today, many of whom have gone on to win awards from well-established competitions. We have had an award-winner every year (3 last year alone).
We have helped instructors adapt their class plans to help students' progression and to help with retention. As well as businesses gain profit by switching up their plans.
On top of that, we have helped producers with show planning and marketing (every show we helped with last year has/is putting on their next event this year)
We also help with email applications, fees and insurance guidance, as well as giving examples of tech sheets and things to do that producers love.
Even if you just need someone to talk to and ask all the questions to, we are here for that too.

This mentorship is a game changer for me. I have done shows here and there, but I have always been uncertain on the admin side. Ruby D'Woo has taught me everything and more, there are things you just don't think about. One thing I love about Ruby is that she won't let you go into the industry blind, she tells you what you NEED to know and even goes to the lengths of advising you how to keep safe when travelling. The amount of care she has and her attention to detail is what makes Ruby one of the best teachers to work with.
Her mentorship is like no other and if you are passioniate about being a performer and need to brush up on your knowledge, become a performer, looking for support due to anxiety then you won't find any better than Ruby.

If I had to rate this Mentorship I would give it 11 out of 10. This has been the best and enjoyable experience into the industry. I signed up to the 3 month option including my routine class sessions which is great value for money due to the perks, advice, online and studio sessions included. Ruby 'D' Woo deliveres top quality, professional guidance and support from the very beginning going into the burlesque industry and gives you professional insight, experienced advice aswell as structured lesson plan as to what you should aim to have complete by the end of the 3 months. Being on the Mentorship means there are perks that you are able to discuss your ongoing act and ask as many questions as you wish at anytime, so no extra session are required booking. This has been extremely helpful when needing to bounce ideas or unsure how to execute something. Ruby also assists with how to apply for bookings and creating your burlesque CV to use for applying to shows. Ruby has been nothing but a delight and the best guide that you would expect all teachers to provide to their mentor students. She has been patient and adapts to your individual needs, she will give professional corrective criticism and work with you to improve your act.
Ruby also assists you in how to successfully run your social media page and can also provide you with advice on how to improve it so your followers will have more interaction with you and that you are seen more.
100% the best thing I have ever done. Thank you Ruby!

I joined the Mentorstrip in January as I really wanted to learn about the business side of burlesque and how to do the admin, how to promote myself and I also wanted to learn more variations as well as getting feedback on my current acts.
Ruby delivered on everything and more, she is so willingly helpful and genuienly wants to see you succeed.
I have had private classes with other professional performers, but I got more in one session with Ruby then months with others, not to say the others were bad. She is refreshingly honest and it makes you progress even quicker. She really does provide support whenever you need it through your mentorship, as well as sending you castings she thinks you are suitable for.
If you are thinking about joining just do it! You will not regret it and you are getting more than your money worth with Ruby.
I am rebooking on for another 3 months and I honestly can not wait to see how much more i grow in that time.

I have always wanted to make a burlesque act and I never knew where to start. After 5 months of learning and planning, I finally stepped out on to stage and it was so much more then I ever thought it would be. All of Ruby's tips really helped me with nerves and I was able to push through them and bring my persona to the stage.
I have booked back on in 2023 as my performance lead to another booking and I already know Ruby will help and guide me through everything.
This is the best thing I have ever done in my life and I can not thank Ruby enough for everything.

I saw Ruby advertise her MentorStrip on Instagram and saw that it covered areas I was wanting help in and also others I have never done before.
It took 1 single session for Ruby to help in many ways. I know a lot and I like to think I have good knowledge of burlesque and the industry, but Ruby spoke about every little detail and I already respected her as a professional, but that level went sky high.
She will not hold back and she will give you everything she knows, this is very rare. She gave me full feedback with pointers and options for all my acts, she gave me templates to help with my tech sheet and act planning. She also gave me a list of useful sources.
That was just my first session!!!
I am now with the help and advice of Ruby about to put on my first show and I feel so confident in it and that I now have the tools to make it a success.
Anyone no matter what level they are at will gain something from Ruby's Mentoring, there is no other like it in the UK.
