Littledale Festival Liverpool Featuring Aintree Angels
Tina La Tease and the Aintree Angels Burlesque Adventure
The Aintree Angels recently took their very first step onto the burlesque stage at the Littledale Festival in Liverpool, marking an exciting milestone in their burlesque journey. Under the guidance of their instructor, Tina La Tease, this talented and courageous group pushed past their nerves and stepped confidently into the spotlight for their debut performance.
Let’s take a look behind the scenes at Tina La Tease and the Aintree Angels as they embarked on their first burlesque adventure.
The Journey Begins
Tina La Tease began her journey as a Burlesque With Paris instructor just twelve months ago, and in that time she has watched her students grow in both confidence and skill. The Aintree Angels are made up of a dedicated group of performers including Trix D’Jour, Topaz D’Light, Miss D’Menah, Rubylicious, and Lilly Moon, all of whom have worked tirelessly to develop their burlesque abilities.
Their preparation for the Littledale Festival performance was built on commitment, perseverance, and mutual support. Throughout rehearsals, Tina created a nurturing and encouraging environment where each performer felt safe to grow, challenge themselves, and shine. This supportive atmosphere allowed the Angels to develop not only their technical skills but also their self-belief. By the time the festival arrived, they were ready to embrace the transformative power of burlesque together.
First Flight
The Littledale Festival in Liverpool provided the perfect setting for the Aintree Angels’ first burlesque performance. Dressed in their class uniform costumes, the Angels stepped onto the stage radiating confidence and pride. Every movement reflected the journey they had taken from beginners to performers ready to be seen.
With Tina La Tease’s guidance firmly in their minds, the Angels performed with passion, authenticity, and heart. The audience witnessed more than a dance. They saw courage, vulnerability, and empowerment unfolding on stage. Despite it being their first performance, the Angels delivered with a confidence that far exceeded their experience.
This debut was not just about performing. It was the result of months of hard work, dedication, and personal growth. Fear gave way to exhilaration as the Angels claimed the stage, supported by one another and led by a proud and watchful Tina La Tease. It was a powerful and transformative experience for both the performers and the audience, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their burlesque journey.
