Eight Years Of Glamour, Growth & Unforgettable Tease…

Celebrating eight sensational years, the Selby Starlets have firmly established themselves as a dazzling cornerstone of the Burlesque With Paris community.

Over the years, this incredible group has flourished into a confident, creative, and captivating class, consistently showcasing their passion for burlesque artistry. Their journey has been defined by camaraderie, empowerment, and a shared love of performance, making every class, routine, and stage appearance a true celebration of self-expression and tease.

A Term-by-Term Celebration of Style & Growth…

The Selby Starlets enjoyed a wonderfully varied journey through burlesque this year, with each term introducing new styles, techniques, and creative challenges that allowed the class to grow in confidence and performance ability.

Term 3 saw the Starlets embrace Classic Burlesque with “Love For Sale.” Using umbrellas as their prop, the dancers explored elegance, tease, and character, setting a refined foundation for the terms ahead.

In Term 4, the focus shifted to Neo Burlesque with “Come Together.” Featuring shirts and ties, this routine encouraged bold movement, playful attitude, and contemporary flair, allowing the dancers to step confidently into a more modern burlesque style.

Term 5 brought the graceful art of Feather Fan Burlesque with “Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps.” Working with feather fans, the Starlets refined their control, timing, and flow, creating performances rich in sophistication and classic tease.

Classic Burlesque returned in Term 6 with “I Put A Spell On You.” Incorporating flowing organza boas, this routine allowed the dancers to explore drama, sensuality, and expressive movement.

For Term 7, the Starlets prepared a show-stopping Burlesque Ball routine to “Take My Love, Take Me.” Featuring feather bustles and gloves, this Classic Burlesque performance showcased elegant choreography and strong ensemble work.

The year concluded in Term 8 with a joyful mix of styles. Showgirl Burlesque sparkled with “Holly Jolly Christmas,” complete with gloves and Santa hats, while “Sway” introduced Bellyesque movement using belly dance fans. The Starlets also tackled Neo Burlesque once more with “Do You Wanna Touch,” incorporating chairs and shirts to finish the year with confidence and attitude.

A Lavish Night At The Revelry of Tease – 11th May 2024…

The Selby Starlets shone brightly at The Revelry of Tease at Doncaster Little Theatre, delivering unforgettable performances that embodied the heart of burlesque.

Tity Von Tease captivated the audience with her soulful performance to “Feeling Good.” Beginning with her back to the audience, she immediately drew everyone into her world of glamour. Dancing with her boa as a playful partner, she teased with precision and charm. Rose petals cascaded across the stage during her glove removal, leading to a perfectly paced bra reveal that unleashed thunderous applause as her pasties were unveiled.

Cherry Dynamite brought commanding presence and sharp charisma to “The Man.” Dressed in a striking black sequin suit with a red trilby and tie, her striptease unfolded with impeccable timing. Each removal — hat, jacket, trousers, tie, and shirt — built anticipation, culminating in a daring reveal of red tassels and glittering pasties. A true masterclass in tease.

Lil-Bit O’Booty delivered a seductive and expressive performance to “Blue On Black.” Clad in purple lingerie with black gloves, suspenders, and stockings, her routine was a slow burn that built to a powerful climax, finishing with confident tasselling in black sequin tassels — a vibrant celebration of burlesque spirit.

Pink Champagne enchanted the audience with her silk fan routine to Dolly Parton’s “World On Fire.” Dressed in black sequin shorts and a red check shirt, her fluid movements and seamless transitions created an ethereal spectacle that held the room in rapt attention.

Harley Queen brought rock-chick energy and fearless confidence to “Fat Bottomed Girls.” With playful skirt teases, bold bum rolls, and an explosive reveal of bright pink pants and sparkly tassels, her performance was packed with sass, attitude, and joy.

Scarlett Valentine commanded the stage with dramatic flair in “Call Me Cruella.” From her luxurious Dalmatian coat to elegant glove removals and stunning black-and-white silk fan finale, her act was polished, theatrical, and utterly captivating.

Tity Von Tease returned with a mesmerising routine to “Beautiful.” Beginning in a black robe, she revealed elegant white lingerie, confetti-filled gloves, and personal photographs of the Selby Starlets — a heartfelt and playful tribute that ended in sparkling tassels and rapturous applause.

Jaja Lamore delivered a dynamic buccaneer-themed act filled with energy and theatrical precision, commanding the stage from start to finish. From sword balancing to dramatic skirt work and vibrant silk fans, her performance built steadily toward a powerful finale as she raised her sword high, pirate pasties glittering under the lights, leaving the audience captivated by her fearless presence and commanding storytelling.
