In the words of award winning burlesque artist Lenore Lenore: “The four very regal ibises you saw float across the Mx Masters 2025 stage would never have happened without Lila’s input. 

I believed that doing “ibises again” was me going backwards as a performer, but Lila understood my brand and character even more clearly than I did, held the bigger picture and pushed me forward to bring the elevated evolution to the stage rather than leave that magic on the table and do something, well, less. 

If you’re entering a competition, or anything with a set criteria, Lila is who you want to invest in time with. Their ability to be analytical, to strategise, and to help you reach the next level of yourself as a performer is unmatched. They are a wizard!”

PRIVATE COACHING WITH LILA LUXX 🖤
There are very few people in the burlesque and cabaret world who can look at an act and immediately understand what it’s trying to be, and then tell you, with precision and warmth, exactly how to get it there. Lila Luxx is one of them.

With over 15 years in the industry, formal theatre training, and the eye of a director AND the instincts of a performer, Lila brings something rare to her coaching: she’s seen what separates a good act from an unforgettable one, and she can articulate it. ✨

📍 IN STUDIO PRIVATE LESSONS in Brisbane, now booking Tuesdays 5-6pm in July/August, plus by appointment

📧 CONCEPT CONSULT tailored written feedback on acts still being built, no video needed, accessible worldwide

🎬 ACT REVIEW targeted, supportive feedback on a specific problem in an existing act

💎 PERFORMANCE POLISH detailed beat by beat notes on ex*****on, timing, movement, and staging

💻 THE CATBIRD SEAT a 6 week online coaching program for intermediate and advanced performers ready to level up, online in their own time 

If you’re ready to take your act to the next level, Lila is ready for you. Follow the link in ’s bio or head to www.bombshellacademy.com.au/private-coaching-with-lila for all the details ✨

Some people go to the gym. Some people take pottery classes.
Some people strap on heels and learn how to dramatically throw shapes on a chair in front of a cheering crowd.
We highly recommend the third option. ✨😉
