About Cleveland Burlesque Academy:
CB is led by Bella Sin, a Mexican Indigenous Immigrant leader who is also a Nonbinary person. Bella is not only a trusted leader in the Cleveland community but is also an internationally acclaimed artist who is ranked the 19th Most Influential Burlesque Figure in the World. Bella has made significant contributions through their artivism, which has put the NEO burlesque scene on the international stage. Bella’s lived experiences trying to access creative opportunities in spaces where minoritized communities are not included or welcomed inspire much of Bella and CB’s focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
