Hull Honeys Two Years Of Glitter, Garters And Good Times…

Welcome to the world of Hull Honeys, where glitter, garters, and good times reign supreme! Founded by the fabulous Paris Chantilly, our burlesque class has been a hub of creativity, empowerment, and fun for the past two years. As we celebrate our 2nd anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey we've been on, the unforgettable moments we've shared, and the exciting future that lies ahead.

The Journey Begins Celebrating Our 2nd Anniversary…

Two years have flown by since the birth of Hull Honeys, a sanctuary of self-expression and camaraderie through the art of burlesque. In this relatively short time, Hull Honeys has blossomed into more than just a burlesque class, it has become a vibrant community where extraordinary women gather to share in the joy of dance, to support one another, and to bask in the collective radiance of their achievements. As we commemorate this milestone, it's not just about looking back at the remarkable journey we've shared but also about appreciating the profound impact Hull Honeys has had on each of our lives. It's a celebration of the laughter that filled our rehearsals, the applause that echoed after our performances, and the sheer joy of stepping out of our comfort zones together. From those first tentative steps onto the stage to the confident, show-stopping performances that have since become our hallmark, every moment has been a step forward in our shared voyage of discovery and empowerment. Paris Chantilly’s vision has not only created a space for learning and growing but has also woven together a tapestry of diverse yet united individuals, each bringing their unique spark to the dazzling blaze that is Hull Honeys. As we mark this anniversary, we're reminded of the strength found in unity, the beauty of our diversity, and the endless possibilities that lie ahead when we dare to dream together.

A Night to Remember The 2019 Burlesque Ball Show…

The 2019 Burlesque Ball Show, hosted at Drax Social Club on the 9th of November, unfolded as an evening of enchantment and elegance that captivated the hearts of all present. As the curtains rose, the stage was set for an extraordinary showcase of burlesque artistry by Hull Honeys. Clad in their exquisite burlesque finery, each performer radiated confidence and grace, embodying the spirit of the genre with every step. The centrepiece of the evening was the class routine "Feeling Good," a performance that exemplified the blend of sophistication and seduction inherent to burlesque. This spectacle was met with fervent applause from an audience of 240 guests, whose anticipation was met and surpassed by the stunning display before them. The energy in the room was electric, as spectators were treated to a night of unparalleled talent and passion. Each act that graced the stage contributed to the atmosphere of wonder, making the evening a true celebration of burlesque culture. The dedication and artistry of the performers were evident, as they seamlessly moved through their routines, leaving an indelible mark on all who witnessed their brilliance. This event stood as a proud testament to the hard work and creativity of the Hull Honeys, further solidifying their place in the hearts of their audience and the wider Burlesque With Paris community.

Celebrating Success The Hull Honeys' Triumph…

In a glittering moment of victory, the Hull Honeys captured the spotlight, clinching the coveted best class group performance award. Their interpretation of "Feeling Good" was nothing short of mesmerising, embodying the essence of burlesque with a flawless execution that captivated both the judges and the audience. This accolade marked a significant milestone for the Hull Honeys, celebrating their inaugural year in the competitive arena of performance awards. The distinction of being recognised as the best class performance underscored their collective talent, dedication, and the hours of rehearsal that went into perfecting their routine.

This victory was more than just a triumph, it was a reflection of the group's journey, showcasing their evolution from learners to accomplished performers within the Burlesque With Paris realm. The Hull Honeys, with their unwavering commitment and passion for the art of burlesque, demonstrated the power of unity and the beauty of expressing oneself through dance. Their success at the Burlesque Ball Show was a testament to their hard work, and the award was a beacon of recognition for their artistic prowess.

Revisiting A Year of Glorious Routines…

At Burlesque With Paris, we believe that the magic of burlesque lies in the details, especially when it comes to the use of props. The way a boa is twirled, the timing of an umbrella's twirl, or the strategic reveal behind an ostrich fan. These moments, when executed with precision and flair, leave a lasting impression on any performance.

Adapting To Change Dancing Through Difficult Times…

Navigating the uncertainties brought about by the global pandemic, Hull Honeys demonstrated an unwavering spirit and resilience that shone through despite the daunting challenges. The abrupt closure of our classes on the 5th of March marked a pivotal moment for us, as we were thrust into a realm of uncertainty, with the entire UK bracing for lockdown measures. The transition to an online platform was swift, with the initiation of Zoomets online dance classes on the 4th of May serving as a beacon of continuity and hope. This digital pivot allowed us to maintain the rhythm of our passion, ensuring that not even a global crisis could dampen the spirit of our dance community. The embrace of this new virtual stage was a testament to the adaptability and determination of our Heavenly Honeys, who continued to perfect their craft, undeterred by the physical distance between us.

The Quarantease Lounge Shows emerged as a creative response to these unprecedented times, enabling our performers to showcase their talent and connect with audiences from the safety of their homes. This period of adversity highlighted the strength of our bond and our collective resolve to keep the essence of Hull Honeys alive, proving that our commitment to dance and to each other transcends any obstacle.

Together, we look forward to building on our foundation of creativity, camaraderie, and celebration, making every step, twirl, and shimmy a testament to the enduring spirit of Hull Honeys.

Here's to the boundless possibilities that lie ahead, to the magic we'll create and the dreams we'll realise.

Embarking on a journey with the Hull Honeys offers an exclusive opportunity to delve into the enchanting world of burlesque.
