The class covers a range of topics that will develop the drag persona from knowing what it means to be a drag queen to learning the A-Zs of make-up, choosing the right clothes per body type, and capturing the best angle for Instagram.

    “There is so much under my dress that I can share with everyone in my School of Drag.  This class is a learning community, and I am excited for what we will create not only in the Philippines but all over the world. I look forward to our quarterly meet the creator sessions where I can share more tricks of the trade and encouragement that can help in their careers as make-up artists, stylists, performers, and content creators,” said Manila Luzon.

I am excited to pass down this knowledge through Nas Academy to new generations of drag performers and people who love the art form” Manila acclaimed.
