As We Say Goodbye To Our Beautiful Tina La Tease
16th April 2018 - 21st October 2022
Instructor Waterloo Wonders and Aintree Angels - Liverpool
On the 21st of October, it was a sad day for Burlesque With Paris as we lost the most beautiful, selfless, caring, and kindest person you could have ever wished to know to Lung Cancer. We were privileged and so lucky to have Tina La Tease as part of the Burlesque With Paris team and no one will ever be able to fill her sparkly shoes…
Tina La Tease was a magnificent lady who gave so much to everyone and expected nothing in return. Her beautiful smile and infectious personality are what made the Waterloo Wonders and Aintree Angels classes as magnificent as they were.
Tina La Tease was a very close friend of Paris Chantilly’s and back in September 2017, she decided she wanted to join the Burlesque With Paris team just because she loved dancing and wanted to be part of what Paris Chantilly was doing… Burlesque. She flew through the instructor course in April 2018 and was so excited she had her venues all lined up and ready to start within two weeks of her completing the course.
Tina’s natural gift for caring and wanting to make people feel good about themselves was the reason why this was so perfect for her.
Within a couple of months, Tina was sending music suggestions to Paris for her to use for class routines and their friendship grew into the Burlesque With Paris Dream Team.
In 2018 Tina decided she would take to the stage with her Waterloo Wonders ladies. She organized a minibus to Selby, told Mick who was driving the bus that it wasn’t far to travel, and came to the Annual Show. Tina and the Waterloo Wonders performed Welcome To Burlesque and they were absolutely incredible on stage. Tina loved every minute of being on the stage and within two days she was talking to Paris and was full of ideas for her solo performance.
Tina accomplished so many things as an instructor and unknowingly left footprints on the sands of time that will live on through everyone who knew her.
Her love for dancing and music along with her vibrant bubbly personality is the legacy of memories that Tina has left behind.
Losing Tina La Tease has had such a massive impact on all of Burlesque With Paris, that we have made it our mission to carry her name on throughout 2023.
