“She is flirty and fun with a touch of class.

She will be flicking her hair and toasting a glass.

Starting your burlesque solo - with Lana Blu

“I didn't commit to performing at the beginning. Honestly, I was just concerned about getting through my first class, then my first term. I set myself small goals, finally getting through my first group performance. Solo performing felt like the next step for me.”

Catch up with Olive Allure - Building your burlesque persona

If you don't have anything nice to say, come and sit with Olive.

She is dark, salty, and will break your tooth if you are unlucky.

She enjoys long baths in fine vodka, and isn't afraid to get dirty.

She might be an acquired taste. Because not everybody likes olives - but don't worry, she doesn't like you either - Olive Allure

Catch up with Velvet Butterfly - Developing your burlesque persona

“There’s never going to be the perfect time to debut your first solo. You can spend so much time being wrapped up in your head trying to perfect it, that you put off performing. Don’t do this. Just get out on stage and give it a go! Also, don’t go chasing perfection, there is no such thing” - Velvet Butterfly
