Their journey has been shaped by creativity, camaraderie, and fearless self-expression, making every class and performance a joyful celebration of burlesque in all its bold and brilliant forms.

A Journey Through Glamour, Confidence and Creative Expression

The Goole Goddesses have enjoyed a beautifully varied journey through burlesque, with each term introducing new styles, techniques, and performance challenges that have supported growth in confidence, creativity, and stage presence.

Term Five of 2024 introduced the elegance of Feather Fan Burlesque with Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps. Using ostrich fans, the Goddesses explored graceful movement, refined timing, and classic tease, laying a strong foundation for the year ahead.

Term Six shifted into dramatic Classic Burlesque with I Put A Spell On You. Featuring boas and gloves, this routine encouraged sensuality, character work, and expressive performance, allowing the dancers to fully embrace theatrical storytelling.

Term Seven focused on preparation for the Burlesque Ball with a show-stopping Showgirl Burlesque routine to It Don’t Mean A Thing. Complete with tassel dresses and gloves, this high-energy performance radiated confidence, sass, and polished ensemble work.

Term Eight of 2024 closed the year with festive sparkle through Showgirl Burlesque Holly Jolly Christmas. Wearing Christmas hats and gloves, the Goddesses brought joyful energy, humour, and seasonal charm to the stage.

Moving into 2025, the Goole Goddesses continued to build on their versatility and performance skills. Term One returned to Feather Fan Burlesque with I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You, once again using ostrich fans to explore elegance, musicality, and emotional connection.

Term Two embraced Neo Burlesque with Do You Wanna Touch. Incorporating chairs and shirts, this routine encouraged boldness, confidence, and a contemporary attitude, allowing the dancers to step into a more fearless performance style.

Term Three celebrated classic showgirl glamour with Putting On The Ritz. Featuring pimp sticks and trilby hats, this routine showcased sharp choreography, playful character work, and confident stage presence.

The journey continued in Term Four with Classic Burlesque Take My Love, Take Me. Using feather bustles and gloves, the Goddesses embraced timeless burlesque elegance, bringing the year to a sophisticated and theatrical close.

Each term offered new challenges and opportunities, allowing the Goole Goddesses to grow as performers while celebrating creativity, humour, and confidence.

Where Artistry Meets Tease at the Burlesque Ball

9th November 2024

The Goole Goddesses made a striking impact at the Burlesque Ball, delivering performances that blended glamour, comedy, and theatrical storytelling.

The evening opened with an enthralling group routine to It Don’t Mean A Thing by Club Des Belugas. Dressed in vibrant showgirl dresses with bold purple, red, and green gloves, the Goddesses immediately captivated the audience. Seamless glove removals led into a dramatic dress reveal, unveiling coordinating burlesque finery beneath. Their precision, energy, and commanding presence earned resounding applause.

Cherry Dynamite followed with whimsical charm in her playful performance to Chinchilla by Slim Moon. Emerging from behind a large gold fan, she drew the audience into her world with fluid fan work and theatrical skirt play, transforming it into a dramatic cape before casting it aside. Her sparkling purple pasty reveal was met with cheers, perfectly balancing humour and allure.

Bella Diamond and Pixie Dust delivered a crowd pleasing comedic duo to a medley of I Want To Break Free and Man I Feel Like A Woman. Beginning in overcoats and marigolds, their exaggerated cleaning antics had the audience laughing instantly. The reveal of glamorous black star skirts, corsets, and tie tops struck the perfect balance between comedy and tease, with cowboy hats and playful pasty reveals bringing thunderous applause.

Pink Champagne brought a moment of calm elegance with her serene performance to World On Fire by Dolly Parton. Dressed in a striking red ensemble, her exquisite white silk fan work flowed effortlessly, creating a mesmerising and emotionally rich performance that held the theatre spellbound.

Confetti-filled water bottles provided a joyful finale that had the audience laughing and applauding their comedic brilliance.

Princess Amethyst, Mistress Emerald, and Pixie Dust returned to the stage with a spellbinding rendition of I Put A Spell On You, inspired by the witches of Hocus Pocus.
