My name is Zara Estelle. For years, I’ve had the honor of living at the intersection of movement, community, and the transformative power of performance. Driven by a lifelong belief in the healing power of art, I have dedicated my career to building inclusive spaces where expression knows no bounds. Many of you know me as the Manager of Metropolitan Studios since 2022 and an instructor at the Atlanta School of Burlesque since 2021.
Today, I am pulling back the curtain on a brand-new act.
As our beloved CEO, Roula Roulette, sunsets her current business entities to follow a new life path, my own journey has shifted in a beautiful, bold direction. To honor the incredible legacy built by Roula and the original founders, Ursula Undress and Taloolah Love, and to ensure our community always has a place to shine, I am thrilled to introduce Atlanta Creative Arts (ACA) and the Atlanta Burlesque Academy (ABA), based out of The Creatorspace.
We aren't just opening a studio; we are building an arts sanctuary.
The Atlanta Burlesque Academy will pay homage to the rich history and world-class education established by The Atlanta School of Burlesque, keeping that flame alive for a new generation of performers.
Atlanta Creative Arts will serve as our multidisciplinary umbrella—offering everything from dance to immersive workshops designed to turn every student into a creator.
Moving into The Creatorspace is a massive leap forward, but we need your help to build the "bones" of this sanctuary.
This $10,000 fundraiser will help fund the vital infrastructure required to make this a world-class home for the arts:
-Professional Dance Flooring
-Studio Mirrors
-Pro-Audio Sound System
-Dedicated off-site storage
-Startup Costs
-Paying Artist
Our Mission: Atlanta Creative Arts aims to be Atlanta's premier, inclusive hub for creativity and performance. We offer arts instruction for all skill levels, specifically designed to empower you to dance to the beat of your own drum, find your voice, and build confidence. Beyond the classroom, we serve as a vital community venue—a professional stage where artists can fearlessly debut original work.
The walls are beautiful, but it is the infrastructure—and your support—that will make this space a home. Will you help us build the foundation for the next generation of Atlanta artists?
