Props are a bit part of burlesque, love them or hate them there is no avoiding them.
Personally I love burlesque props. I feel they bring a whole new life to an act.
Don’t get me wrong, they are not easy and certainly have a mind of their own, however they also give you something to interact with no matter how enthusiastic your audience are.
The truth is in burlesque anything can be a prop. Literally anything you can think of.
Any item you find in your house can be used as a prop for an act.
I have had a think and narrowed my favourite props down to five.
1 – Balloons
This one will not be a su ..read more

In fact, taking that first step into a Burlesque class can completely change your life.

It is empowering, expressive, relaxing and a lot more.
Here are just some of the ways that Burlesque can change your life:
Getting moving

We all love burlesque, there is no doubting that. We know that it is a fabulous, empowering and fun art form that gives us all so much. However, not everyone is lucky enough to understand just how amazing burlesque is. Because of this we are often faced with questions or statements that anger us so much our tassels could fall off.Now, I’m not saying that people shouldn’t want to find out more, we want them to ask us stuff.
It would just be nice if people thought about what they were going to say before opening their mouths.
Some people just don’t seem to be able to do this when talking about b ..read more

What I experienced in my first ever Love You Burlesque class
I have had an interest in burlesque since I was really young. My mum started doing classes, and I watched the film Burlesque and was totally hooked. As someone who had danced from the age of thee I was in awe of it.
However, I was a bit too young so had to wait a few years. Fast forward to 2018 and I signed up for my first Love You Burlesque class. Aged 20, I really didn’t know what to expect. I hadn’t had any dance classes since I was 18, and just couldn’t wait to try something new.
Even though I was sure I was going to love it, I m ..read more

England is still going to be under lockdown restrictions for International Women’s Day (IWD), but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate.
Here are 5 ways you can celebrate safely:
1 – Write a letter to the woman who inspires you.

Sadly it looks like we won’t be returning to ‘normal’ life any time soon. With another national lockdown announced, it may be some time before we can all be in the same room shimmying together. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t still fill your life with all of the sparkles, glamour and fabulousness that burlesque has to offer. Love You Burlesque has evolved with the times, and is offering zoom burlesque classes.
Although nothing will match the joy that an ‘in the flesh’ class will bring, zoom burlesque classes are still amazing fun.
Here are all of the amazing positives to a virtual burlesq ..read more
