Hull Harlots Two Fabulous Years Of Dance And Laughter…
Welcome to Hull Harlots, where we have been celebrating two fabulous years of dance, laughter, and empowerment. As we mark our 2nd anniversary, we can't help but look back on all the incredible moments we have shared together as a community. From learning new routines to showcasing our talents on stage, it has been a year full of excitement and growth.

A Look Back At A Year Of Dazzling Routines…
Over the last twelve months, Hull Harlots has embarked on a journey through the captivating world of burlesque, exploring various styles and themes that have both challenged and delighted our dancers. With each term, our students have delved into different aspects of burlesque, starting with the elegance of Classic Burlesque, moving through the sultry beats of Bump and Grind, and embracing the dramatic flair of Broadway Burlesque, amongst others. The dedication to mastering routines such as “I Just Want To Make Love To You” with its glove and boa finesse, to the boldness of “S&M” in our Neo Burlesque term, illustrates the versatility and commitment of our dancers.
The progression from feather fan routines in Feather Fan Burlesque to the show-stopping “Santa Baby” performance in ShowGirl Burlesque, without the assistance of props, showcases the increasing confidence and skill within our community. Each class has not just been about learning steps, but about embodying the empowering essence of burlesque, fostering an environment where creativity, self-expression, and camaraderie flourish. The enthusiastic participation in these varied routines has not only heightened the excitement around our weekly gatherings but has also laid a strong foundation for our dazzling performances, leaving both dancers and audience members eagerly anticipating what comes next.
