The First Year Of Waterloo Wonders And Aintree Angels…

Since becoming a BurlesqueWithParis Instructor in April 2018, my journey has been nothing short of glamorous and empowering. Teaching my first class on 15th May 2018 marked the beginning of a year filled with growth, confidence-building, and unforgettable performances.

As I reflect on my first year with Burlesque With Paris and Waterloo Wonders and Aintree Angels, I am excited to share the highlights and memorable moments that have shaped this incredible experience.

The Rise Of The Waterloo Wonders…

The transformation of the Waterloo Wonders from burlesque novices to a formidable and cohesive troupe has been an exhilarating evolution. Our journey has been punctuated by applause and admiration, reflecting the immense dedication each member invests in mastering their routines. The growth in skill and confidence within the group has been visible, with each performance outshining the last. Our debut at the Burlesque Ball show in November 2018 was a resounding success, setting a high benchmark for our subsequent appearances. The camaraderie and collective spirit of the Waterloo Wonders have

propelled us to new heights, making every stage we grace a testament to our shared passion and hard work. The support and encouragement that flow freely among the members have fostered an environment where each individual feels valued and empowered. This sense of belonging and achievement is what defines the essence of the Waterloo Wonders, as we continue to captivate and charm audiences, leaving a lasting impression with our grace and artistry.

The Aintree Angels Take the Stage…

Marking a significant milestone in my teaching journey, the performance with the Aintree Angels at The Littledale Festival was a vibrant celebration.

The Aintree Angels, a spirited ensemble, illuminated the audience with their dynamic presence and dazzling routines, encapsulating the essence of burlesque with their vivacity and charm.

This group of remarkable women showcased not just their talent, but also the camaraderie and sheer joy that burlesque brings into their lives. Their performance was a testament to their hard work, embodying the confidence and empowerment that comes with mastering the art of burlesque.

The energy and enthusiasm they brought to the festival set the atmosphere alight, creating memories that will be cherished and fuelling our excitement for future shows. This was not just a performance, it was a declaration of the transformative power of burlesque, witnessed by an audience captivated by the Aintree Angels' flair and finesse.

A Community Of Confidence And Celebration…

Within the realms of Burlesque With Paris, alongside the Waterloo Wonders and Aintree Angels, a vibrant community has blossomed, where the essence of celebration and self-empowerment takes centre stage. It's a sanctuary where laughter mingles with the swish of petticoats, and camaraderie strengthens with every shimmy and shake. Our classes are much more than mere dance rehearsals, they are a rendezvous of souls seeking joy, acceptance, and the freedom to express their sensuality without judgement.

The magic of this community lies in its diversity and inclusivity, welcoming women from all walks of life to join in the revelry. Together, we navigate the thrilling landscape of burlesque, each bringing our unique flair and personality to the fore. It's in these moments, amidst the whirl of feathers and glitter, that genuine connections are forged. Sharing stories, offering support, and celebrating each other's milestones, our gatherings have become a cherished haven of encouragement.

This nurturing environment fosters not only skill and poise but a deep-seated confidence that transcends the stage. Witnessing the transformation of fellow performers, as they evolve into more confident and radiant versions of themselves, is a heartening aspect of our collective journey. The laughter and bonds shared within our community underscore the essence of what we stand for – a celebration of femininity, strength, and the unapologetic pursuit of joy.

Looking Ahead: Feathers, Glitter, and New Beginnings

As anticipation builds for the forthcoming year, the promise of welcoming fresh faces to our spirited ensemble ignites a spark of excitement. The allure of feathers and glitter beckons, symbolising the dawn of new beginnings and the continuation of our extraordinary journey with Burlesque With Paris and the remarkable Waterloo Wonders and Aintree Angels.

Our classes, a melting pot of creativity and camaraderie, are poised to introduce more women to the enchanting world of burlesque, offering them a platform to embrace their individuality and harness their inner confidence. The prospect of crafting more mesmerising routines and sharing the stage with both seasoned and novice performers fills me with an insatiable eagerness to push the boundaries of what we can achieve together.

This year promises a kaleidoscope of opportunities, not only to dazzle onlookers with our performances but to deepen the bonds within our vibrant community. Each twirl, each giggle, each shared moment of triumph propels us forward, reinforcing our commitment to this art form and to each other. As we venture into this next chapter, our hearts are open, our spirits are high, and we are ready to sprinkle a little more magic into the world. Here's to the adventures that await us, may they be as glittering and fulfilling as the journey we have had so far.

“I am excited and looking forward to another year teaching, and welcoming new ladies that want to join us on our amazing journey, and seeing where the next year leads us. I look forward to meeting you at one of my classes”
