In the 19th century, opera dancers (ballet dancers who performed the dance interludes that took place during every opera) were the most sought after female company. Gentlemen brought gifts to their dressing rooms after the show and begged the great good fortune of accompanying them to a soirée, where they might have deigned to kick off their satin slippers and entertain the assembled company with a few ballet tableux.
In the Golden Twenties, no party was complete without a decorative and entertaining curiosity in human form. Sex work in this era often overlapped with dancing. Often, a sex worker (or a pair) were hired to regale guests with the most au courant styles of dance.
Offer the guests at your next bash the perfect combination of both these phenomena. (I particularly enjoy paying special attention to the birthday celebrant.)
I am a classically trained ballet dancer now offering live burlesque shows at clubs and private events. I am also happy to customize a performance for your event. I am based in Berlin, but am available for bookings throughout Western Europe.

A burlesque performance at Berlin’s International Whoresday demonstration, June 2, 2022.
The Trouser Burlesque!
After becoming quite tired of filming in only the clothes I had in my suitcase, I borrowed my flatmate's suspenders... ...and yes, when women first began wearing pants, this was what was underneath…
A burlesque made especially for “Gieza's Pokehouse on Twitch,” which premiered April 14th, 2020!
I was originally invited to perform at the legendary Monster Ronson’s here in Berlin, but due to the pandemic, we made a virtual version. Hence, it is a bit chaste, quel dommage. I can’t wait to redeem myself by performing there live!
One of my favorite burlesques so far, filmed during my residency at Earthdance in October 2019. The music by Postmodern Jukebox is absolutely ridiculous, I can't get enough of it. The peacock feather bra and green underbust corset are back!
Yet another fabulous burlesque with a fabulous handmade corset, an absolutely absurd Art Deco thong, and pasties embellished with rhinestones, all made by yours truly. And pointe shoes. Of course, pointe shoes. My GOD how I love bouréeing around in Victorian corsets to Nina Simone. Unparalleled.
My first attempt at the time-honored form! Watch me shimmy my way out of my favorite petticoat, fully-fashioned stockings, pointe shoes, and a handmade corset.
