Exhibitionist

On Wednesday, I shall complete my first 6 weeks of Burlesque Dancing courses.
There is something about frolicking about in feathers, and the idea that one day I’ll be taking my clothes off in front of strangers I find strangely appealing.

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved the stage, taking dance and theatre classes. As a teenager one of the few places I ever felt comfortable was on the stage. So burlesque, for me, is just a natural progression.

Even though I’m performing in a West End gym, full to the brim of sweaty, muscly gay men, in front of a group of 8 girls, I feel like I’m on a stage and all eyes are on me – and my inner exhibitionist LOVES it being all about me.

So between now and graduating from Burlesque Baby’s Academy Burlesque in a few months time, I’m going to throw myself into every shimmy and bum thrust with everything I’ve got.. and in the meantime, I’m sure the man will appreciate my efforts.
