I offer a professional and polished classic burlesque experience for everything from private parties & events to large stages. My acts are stage tested and I have the ability to develop special acts for your specific event if given enough time. I have a large variety of costuming. You can expect to see a classically styled dancer adhering to all state laws to elevate your event. I also have access to a small production company that can provide a multitude of dancers for larger events.

I need a space to work in and would prefer to have some space between myself and the audience (especially if feather fans are requested just to give space to work in). I am very comfortable with interacting with the audience and have performed in small spaces and walking through or interacting with a crowd,
I am influenced by the stylings of classic burlesque dancers from the past such as Blaze Starr and Tempest Storm as well as more modern dancers such as Dita Von Teese. I adore blues music and love to use it as much as possible in my acts as well as older 40's & 50's music for a jazzy and classic experience.
