"The workshops are an opportunity to have a try. Burlesque is really inclusive and all sorts of women come along with it suitable for all sorts of ages, sizes and races.
"It is a celebration of women and people always say it is not as intimidating as they thought it would be because it has a sense of humour and you can have a lot of fun with it."
Missy discovered burlesque nine years ago and has been hooked ever since.
She wanted to be an actor, but her passion for vintage style and performing saw her first get into burlesque when it was virtually unheard of in the UK.
She said the classes create a relaxed and fun environment. It is not a stripping workshop and will not include tassel-twirling or nudity.
The workshop will be followed by a question and answer session.
Missy's workshops will be taking place at the Playhouse Theatre in Cheltenham on March 28 and 29 at 7pm.
A professional performance of The Missy Malone and Friends Burlesque Revue will be taking place, also at the Playhouse, on April 20 from 7pm to 9.30pm.
The performances, which ooze 1950s glamour, always play to sell out audiences, after she has secured a solid fan base in the town.

“I have been to one of Missys workshops and it really is great fun. I was petrified beforehand at what it would involve as I am quite shy but I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it ladies!”
