My journey hasn’t been without its challenges, but it’s only deepened my belief in the power of burlesque to transform lives.
Through my company, Vaudezilla, I’ve produced international festivals and connected with thousands of women who, just like you, were looking for a way to embrace their bodies, break free from societal expectations, and tap into their true power.
Now, I’m inviting you to join me in this movement. I’ve designed these Chicago burlesque classes to give you the tools, support, and safe space to explore your sensuality, unleash your creativity, and find joy in every movement.
