I started to perform Burlesque several years ago. I had been thinking about doing it for a while as I have always loved the 1940’s and 1950’s pin up culture. My husband passed away in 2016, and I was going to do it the following year but it didn’t feel the right time. Then in 2018 and thought ‘Blimey just book on a course and go for it!’
After researching courses, I booked on a course with ‘Veronica Blacklace @ Cabaret Boheme’. During the five week course, we learnt how to take off satin gloves, hold ups, shoes and then our bras whilst wearing nipple tassels/pasties. We danced to a fantastic, atmospheric 1950’s style raunchy song called ‘Pink Pussycat’ by the Del-Reys.
I loved the performance and meeting so many like minded people and soon booked on another beginners course followed by intermediate & advanced courses.
Burlesque is very empowering and liberating. Anyone can do it regardless of age, shape or gender. Everyone is welcome. Burlesque is a fun thing to do and it’s good exercise! I have met some wonderful people; it has opened up my social circle. It makes you fall in love with yourself again whilst boosting your confidence and I thoroughly recommend it to everyone.
