Happy 1st Anniversary - Featherstone Follies
Sadly our original class which started back in June 2017 we had to close as the venue closed down and we could not find another venue suitable to hold our classes, then, sure enough, we found one Girnhill Social Club and our classes reopened on the 8th May 2018. A whole new start and a whole new year of fun and excitement we had planned for all of our Featherstone Follies and that’s exactly how this year has been.
We choreographed and they performed their first-ever class routine Cell Block Tango at the Annual Show which was on the 3rd November 2018 at Drax Social Club. They were the feared lady killers of the evening and were absolutely sensational, and more of our fearless follies took to the stage in their small group performances and solo performances. They were all incredible and it was by far The Greatest Show we have done so far with 240 guests in the audience who said it was an incredible show to watch. For our Featherstone Follies, it was a huge achievement as none of our ladies had ever performed before so to perform for the first time with an audience as big as this was incredible.
They have all really enjoyed all the routines they have learned and loved dancing with all the different props that they have danced with. So far they have learned:
S&M - Floggers
Sparkling Diamonds - No Props
Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps - Ostrich Fans
Cell Block Tango - Annual Show Routine
Singing In The Rain - Umbrellas
That Man - Trilby Hats
Welcome To Burlesque - Gloves and Boa’s
These Boots Are Made For Walking - Show Routine
Candyman - Canes
Featherstone Follies took part in our first charity event which was this year on the 27th of January 2019. It was an incredible weekend and Featherstone Follies worked with Selby Starlets and Selby Sirens for the day to be involved with our first charity calendar. It was lots of fun and everyone who got involved made it a spectacular incredible day.
Some of our fearless follies took the opportunity to have our Burlesque Make Over and Photo Shoot in January 2019 and their photos were amazing. They all looked absolutely stunning and incredibly beautiful and really enjoyed the experience.
We had the Student Showcase show on the 30th March 2019 at the Victoria Social Club in Goole. It was a magical show and Featherstone Follies worked alongside the Goole Goddesses, Selby Starlets, and Selby Sirens to give the audience a night of spectacular burlesque. Featherstone Follies all took the plunge and jumped onto the stage to perform a class routine as well as some individual solo performances. Oh my god, they were all incredible, the audience said what a spectacular show it was and they all thoroughly enjoyed it.
It has been a fabulous year and I am so looking forward to the year ahead and welcoming more new ladies into our classes. I just know this year’s Annual Show is going to be spectacular for all of my Beautiful, Sassy Featherstone Follies.
Happy Anniversary Ladies
