“Vixen taught me to remove any aspect of ‘people-pleasing’ which is a huge part of my personal battle with self-esteem. She helped me stop my eating disorder and to truly accept my body.”

“I noticed that so many women didn’t have any passion in their life… this was never me and wasn’t going to be me aged 60!”

“I excitedly charge forward with newfound power, fuelled by inner strength and the belief that I’m worth it.”

“I needed to find myself again, to really let my provocative side shine without feeling judged or ashamed.”

“Before burlesque I was terrified of people thinking my body is gross or weird. Now I realise I’m a sexy woman who shouldn’t feel bad about herself. I am not afraid to show off my curves, cellulite, fat rolls, and all. It’s mine and I rock it.”

“I have a whole new perspective. I finally feel self-love and have gained the highest level of confidence I ever had in my life.”

“I felt like the ‘real me’ was chained somewhere inside my body, Burlesque gives you the opportunity to free yourself. If want to show your scars and traumas, you can do that. Burlesque taught me how to accept myself.”

“With each class and lesson I learned to embrace who my persona was and I found my inner badass. I changed during this process. I am stronger, more confident and ready to be in the spotlight.”

“I censored myself to be accepted as ‘normal’. I fooled everyone, even myself. I realised how much I’ve hidden away for years and that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I showed myself and my doctors that nothing can stop me.”

“The burlesque experience made me feel 100% confident in being seen, exactly as I am. This age. This body. This idea. This expression. THIS Me.”
