Never ever ever show a disembodied boob.

"I cannot recommend this book highly enough to any and all of those of us born so far from our bodies. This book brings you home, this practice and these words and Kellita's transmission of being from the inside out shine through and bring much needed grace to the challenge of being a highly sensitive body, really being one and being seen as one. Read it. Do it. Be it. No exceptions, it's for all of us." - Ane Axford : LMFT, CHt, Founder of Sensitive Leadership

“This book is an unusual gem. It is an amalgam of experimentation, research, teaching, and practice. After mapping decades of mountainous exploration, Kellita has crafted a staircase for the reader-artist to ascend, one step at a time. With sincerity and clarity, she invites us to take the stage by standing more in ourselves – not what we think people want to see, but who we actually are. If you yearn to break free, if you want all the pretending to stop, if you long to be more fully known by yourself and others, this book offers a new way. Burlesque from the Inside Out responds to the call that so many of us have from within – the desire to be center stage in the big, and in our own lives.” - Martha Rynberg : Director at Solo Performance Workshop

“Burlesque From The Inside Out will help performers of every kind achieve the kind of connection to their audience that we all dream of making.” - Jo Weldon : Author of The Burlesque Handbook & Founder of the New York School of Burlesque

"This tiny book, as a reflection of the incredible human Kellita, empowers and enables ALL humans to feel at home in their bodies, creativity, sensuality, and active living.  It is indeed a map to get to this place of actualized authenticity through the playful lens of creating a burlesque solo piece.  Burlesque is an artform that teases our witnesses by slowly revealing our truest selves in both the physical & spiritual senses, and reveling in ourselves during the whole process.  Kellita shows clearly how to embody what is potent for us to share, and provides an exquisite step by step guide for actualizing just that.  This is the important work of living a fulfilling human life & receiving all the gold showered upon us, and may be the most important work you/I/we ever do!” - Gaea Lady : Burlesque Priestess, Internationally Acclaimed Performer & Teacher

“Whoever said that ‘Those who can, do; and those who can't, teach’ clearly never met Kellita Maloof. As much the consummate entertainer as she is a natural born mentor, that someone of her depth of intelligence, generosity of spirit and radiant, infectious passion – for burlesque as both artform and vehicle for radical, transformative self-expression – would be not only willing but inspired to share her philosophy (and practice) with others comes as no surprise. Much like the book in your hands, Kellita may be tiny but her magic is powerful.” - Laura Herbert : Director Emeritus at The Burlesque Hall of Fame

“Kellita is a wondrous being I've always admired. To be in her presence is like being in a sunbeam - full of warmth, wonder and knowledge. Her book is much the same; she's distilled the essence of self work through this glorious artform and personified the concept of empowerment that will bring a light to so many. This tiny book is full of big energy and development, laid out in a playful and articulate yet oh so grounding way.” - Lola Frost : International Striptease Artist & Instructor

"Throughout, this book radiates the wisdom, kindness, and generosity of spirit that I have come to immediately associate with Kellita. She takes us through the essence of being fully embodied in our performance. She shares her own journey. She kindly-but-firmly pushes us to listen to our bodies and souls, on stage and off. But more than that, she also provides a step-by-step, practical guide to that daunting task of creating a burlesque number, from the inside out." - Velvet O'Claire : Host/Producer "Burlesque Stripped Down" podcast

“It's clear that Kellita has done the work, through her own dancing and teaching of students, to fully shift burlesque into an art that focuses more on the experience of the dancer and creates a world where audience members are transformed into witnesses. Kellita is concise (she calls it a tiny book after all) and yet covers expansive and deep ground, quickly altering the way I view burlesque forever and leaving me inspired and empowered to get up and move.” - Holly Shaw : Performance Coach & Author of The Creative Formula

"Kellita’s book is a glittery slice of magic that will change the way you feel about having, moving, and showing your body. She expertly teaches the HOW aspects of creating a burlesque routine, which satisfies the mind and decreases the “I don’t know how to do this” fear factor. From there she moves into the WHAT, by providing a list of emotions and feelings that can be felt, expressed, or embodied during the routine, making it an emotional work of art rather than a set of memorized steps. Lastly, and most importantly, she explains the WHY behind her Burlesque From the Inside Out philosophy. We dance to inhabit ourselves fully and to feel the joy of being alive, whole, and complete. We dance not for the three C’s -Choreography, Costuming and Concept, but for the three R’s - Reveling, Revealing, and Receiving, and it is the embodying our WHY, that everything changes.” - Lora Cheadle : Author of FLAUNT! Drop Your Cover and Reveal Your Smart, Sexy & Spiritual Self

“Kellita has written a straightforward, comprehensive and brilliant map to creating your own burlesque act! Burlesque is a profoundly empowering and joyful art form, and Kellita’s book shines a bright light onto the sacred process of bringing a new act to life. Through embodying the intentions behind the creation of the act, a burlesque act becomes a kind of spell we can willingly and mindfully cast on an exceptionally lucky audience, even if that’s just our closest friends and champions. Kellita hands the reader a full, loving recipe of an act creation from conception to delivery and we are all the richer for it. A must-read for any burgeoning burlesque performer!”- Rev. Legs Malone : Author of Stripped Down: How Burlesque Led Me Home

"I really love this. Everyone needs this book. Thank you, Kellita for understanding and expressing Burlesque this way. This is the Burlesque that I feel, I work, I teach and I love. Much more than a dance or a show or a sequin. Burlesque for life. From the Inside Out." - Susana Guerrero : Founder of Miss Mambo School

“Kellita's Tiny Book and process of using the three R's is a must-read for anyone in burlesque, but beyond that for any woman wanting to get a deeper sense of her body. You don't have to be a burlesque artist to pick up the wisdom in this easy-to-read and thought provoking guide in which Kellita reveals some invaluable insights and shares her personal journey. I learnt about myself as I read each word, I am sure you will, too.” - Sapphira : Founder of Ibiza Burlesque Festival & World Burlesque Day

"I know Kellita as an outstanding burlesque performer, as a relevant spiritual leader and as a badass woman. I am thrilled that she is now offering her deep wisdom via this little book. She managed to put into words what she developed from within. Kellita’s work is profound, life-changing and through and through amazing. I know this because I had the honor of participating in a 5-month Showgirl Awakening program led by her. I can’t wait for “Burlesque from the Inside Out“ to reach out and save this world with deep respect, love and wildness. Thank you Kellita, my dear burlesque friend and Showgirl Shaman, who taught me this way of living!" - Koko La Douce : Europe Top Ten Burlesque Performer
