Greetings ✨
Are you looking to add some enchantment and excitement to your event? Well, let me entertain you, darling! I am known for my glamorous presence, as well as moving a room with my stillness and seductive slow burns. Feather fan dancing is one of my specialities that can fit any theme. As an artist/archivist, I want to intentionally curate burlesque-inspired experiences that turn into enjoyable and everlasting memories.
I have over 10 years of experience within the NYC scene including performing, producing, and booking other talented performers. I also have a working relationship with a very charming event space. Let’s discuss possibilities!
Joyce is an extremely professional and talented burlesque performer. She is such a pleasure to work with from the shows conception to show time. She produces 3-4 performer shows as well as privates and leaves you breathless every single time.
Response from Joyce LeeAnn:
Aww, thanks again for your kind words and leaving this review!
I gotta give y’all credit for the shows successes too! With Prosecco on tap, Chef Coy’s delicious bites, and other essential elements already on-site, Whisk & Whiskey is an exceptional setting for these experiences; all you literally need to do is turn the lights down low!
It’s always a pleasure working with the W&W team. I look forward to bringing more folks to your charming space during their special private events! 💋
Pure Pleasure from collaboration to performance, that's what you'll experience working with Joyce.
I had an idea for my bestie's surprise bachelorette party, but after an email or two and then a phone call with Joyce we had a vision of splendor, sensuality and celebration.
I not only highly recommend Joyce, I WILL absolutely hire her again and again.
We reviewed and mutually agreed upon the grandest to smallest of details from song selections and wardrobe choices to time of performance and age range of guests.
Joyce is professional and personable and even responded to my message on her birthday!
Oh, and when the bride-to-be was running a tad behind schedule, Joyce was ready with the pivot and accommodation.
Did I mention that Joyce is mesmerizing?
A grand time was experienced by all in attendance! I love how the party guests were pleasantly surprised that she took the time to mingle & take selfies after her performance.
Next time, I'll book her for an even longer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Response from Joyce LeeAnn:
Paula, I am truly touched by your words. I also appreciate you taking the time to offer such a detailed review of our experience. Your thoughtfulness and attention to detail definitely made for a wonderful collaborative experience; I really enjoyed planning the surprise with you. You and your cypher of friends are so dope! Your warmth, hospitality, and care was greatly appreciated by myself and my friend who assisted me. I’m so happy to hear that you want to work with me again 🤗 I’m looking forward to our next collaboration!
Book Joyce Now!!!! Everything from my 1st contact with Joyce was amazing. Joyce’s spirit, vibe and passion for the art is what turned my girls night holiday party into a night we will never forget. Joyce personally helped me craft a virtual Burlesque performance. We chatted about what I want my vision for the evening to look like, she added in her own style and when it was show time Joyce was LIVE in my living room performing and interacting with my guests. My girlfriends were BLOWN away!!!! The sultry sexy performance that spoke to our spirit was captivating. Don’t look any further BOOK NOW! I promise you will be over the moon excited for what Joyce has in store for you.
Response from Joyce LeeAnn:
Eyisha, thank you for taking the time to share this enthusiastic review 🙌🏾
I am glad we were able to make the virtual option work; it turned out so fabulous that I am now super excited to offer similar experiences to others! You really planned an amazing party! Getting to witness your sacred sistahfriend circle was moving, and I am honored to have played a part in your special celebration✨
Absolutely amazing, Joyce is a complete doll and a great person to work with! She and Frankie made my event so much more special with their presence, I will most definitely hire them again.
Response from Joyce LeeAnn:
Thank you for taking the time to review our experience, Natalie! I’m honored that you trusted my judgment in selecting the other performer to join me. Miss Frankie Eleanor and I truly enjoyed being welcomed into the celebration with your family and friends. Your party was amazing, and we look forward to working with you again on future events!
Joyce LeeAnn is phenomenal! She is a talented force that knows, very well, how to move and groove a crowd. She is very professional and very giving and 5 stars isn't enough stats to give a perfect experience that Joyce LeeAnn provides.
Response from Joyce LeeAnn:
Nzingtha, thank you for taking the time to review our experience! I’m touched and grateful for all of your kind words. I also appreciate your care and thoughtfulness throughout the booking process. I’m honored to have been included in your celebration. I had such a great time entertaining you all, and it makes me extremely happy to see all of this shared joy in our group photo!
I have never seen anyone embody power, grace, and sensuality so seamlessly. Gorgeous beyond words, inside and out. Truly mesmerizing.

In-person events
💋Performances
I could perform a burlesque act from my repertoire (usually between 5-7 minutes); the costume pieces and choreography could be remixed with different music to fit the event theme. I also enjoy performing with a live band! After performances, I love to interact with your guests and take photos if that’s desired. If you’re interested in a longer set, I could perform twice at different times during the event, or I could book another performer for you.
I embody burlesque as a glamorous way of life. It is an enchanting vibe that I bring to ANY space I enter; stripteasing is NOT required for this experience - especially feather fan dancing!
I typically need a secure and private space to change/store my belongings. If this is not feasible, I have shown up to private events in my costume ready to perform upon arrival. I can perform on a stage or a cleared area. If I’m performing to a recorded track, we’ll need a sound system or wifi speakers. We would figure out in advance the best way for me to share the music with you. I always bring an assistant to support me during the event. My assistant would help coordinate any logistics once we arrive, pick up my garments if I do a striptease, etc.
💋Ambiance/Atmospheric Movement
If you don’t want to coordinate a specific time(s) during your event for your guests to be attentive to a performance, this option is for you! I could do 30-minutes of ambiance and/or atmospheric movement to set the tone and greet/interact with your guests. I could do this up to three times during your event with short breaks in-between. And I could move along to whatever music you are planning to play!
💋Virtual events
We can arrange to modify the above offerings into a virtual setting! For one client, we made sure she could see my video on her large TV screen. During the first part of her event, when the guests wanted to engage each other, I did 30-minutes of ambient dancing as a background vibe. They loved it! Then after a break and they were ready to sit down for a show, I came back to perform a full burlesque act. This option is really fun because so many possibilities are available. Don’t hesitate to reach out so we can come up with something together!
