✨ **Something sparkly is coming this summer...**

I’m so excited to be running three fun workshops in Liverpool over the summer!

Whether you’ve always wanted to try burlesque, fancy learning something new, or just want to spend an evening laughing, dancing and building confidence, there’s something for everyone.

💋 **Wednesday 12th August | 6:00–7:30pm**
**Introduction to Burlesque**
Perfect for complete beginners! We’ll explore the wonderful world of burlesque, have a play with a selection of props, learn some classic techniques and finish with a fun beginner-friendly routine. If you’ve been curious about burlesque but aren’t quite ready to commit to a full course, this is the perfect place to start.

🎤 **Wednesday 26th August | 6:00–7:30pm**
**Sing & Fling**
A workshop for **all abilities** combining singing and burlesque! Learn a fun song alongside a cheeky burlesque routine in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. No need to be a professional singer or dancer—just come ready to have fun!

🖤 **Saturday 29th August | 1:30–3:00pm**
**Stockings**
A workshop for **all abilities** focusing on one of burlesque’s most iconic skills: the art of stocking removal. We’ll explore technique, musicality and performance while learning a playful routine packed with glamour and confidence.

🌈 Everyone is welcome.

❤️ LGBTQ+ inclusive.

✨ Body positive.

💃 All genders welcome.

🔞 18+

These workshops are designed to be fun, friendly and completely judgement-free. Come on your own or bring a friend—I’ll make sure you feel right at home.

And if you catch the burlesque bug (don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😉), we have courses starting in September.

Booking link in the bio or dm for more information.
I can’t wait to dance with you!

PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Scarlett Rose
Scarlett Rose is a q***r and trans burlesque performer and pinup, who encapsulates the most delicious blend of sweetness, spectacle, and sensuality, reflected in her graceful and powerful dance routines. Her background in dance, fashion and costume design, combined with her love of classic Hollywood icons and glamour has shaped her showgirl aesthetic into one of poise and power. There is a striking dichotomy to her burlesque numbers. Some show a classic showgirl, rhinestoned for the gods, and the others display a powerful feminine Domme, who carries an abundance of grace with her assertive presence. With a passion and love for the art form of burlesque, whether classical or neo, and a serious rhinestone addiction, Scarlett has been described by others as the ‘epitome of elegance ‘.

PERFORMER ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Emerging from a cloud of black smog is The Dirti 69 hailing from the exotic far eastern land of Dudley. Inspired by all the glitter of glam of....... well frankly anywhere else, she spread her wings to Liverpool. Re-igniting her passion for dance and circus, she’s shaken her glittery tail feather all the way to Rio Carnival and back.

Image Description: The Dirti69 poses playfully in low key lighting against a dark background, looking downward with a soft smile and one hand raised near her face. She wears pink and purple lace lingerie with rhinestone embellishments and a garter strap that catches the light. Her short pink bob is accentuated by a vivid magenta hue cast across parts of her body, creating a stylized, high-contrast look.

Destiny’s Daughter does not fit the mould because she broke it
on the way in. Masculine edge, feminine fire and a political
point of view that hits harder than expected. Funny, provocative
and genuinely magnetic, she is the enigma at the centre of
every room she walks into
Image Description: White cis women with long brown curly hair wearing a yellow
skirt and a blue corset with a red bow in her hair.
