Burlesque Sunday in Rotterdam – every first Sunday
When I started my burlesque journey in 2008 there was not yet much information on how to create a burlesque act, such as what is suitable and what is not.After visiting local burlesque shows (some of which had international performers) and reviewing every available video on the internet, I still thirsted to know more.In 2011 I decided to visit the biggest burlesque event on Earth – “Burlesque Hall of Fame” – and it was an amazing educational experience. I was able to get plenty of new information by meeting a lot of talented international performers and attending masterclasses with the pioneers of burlesque – Marinka, Joan Arline, and Tiffanie Carter.Throughout all those years, I was still looking for my place in burlesque. Sometimes I would lose my way, trying out styles that didn’t suit me, but usually finding my path again quickly.
I was lucky enough to be able to take some burlesque classes from the talented Michelle L’amour, Russel Brunner and Bonnie Fox. I have also drawn a great deal of inspiration from belly dance, as it is a very feminine art. My belly dance teachers taught me not only dancing techniques, but also how to flirt on stage and enjoy every moment of being in a feminine body. Thank you Fifi Abdou, Sadie Marquardt and my friend Nadya for helping me on my journey.These days, I’m beginning to realize that I’ve reached a point where I’m now able to share my knowledge with other women who would like to learn the amazing art of classic burlesque.
Every first Sunday of the month I now organize “Burlersque Sunday in Rotterdam.”During these events, burlesque lovers come together to share knowledge and experiences. Each event has two masterclasses and every month has a different theme. Once every three months there is a guest teacher. It’s also possible to book a 1 hour private class/coaching (maximum 2 persons).Below an overview of the events.If you wish to participate in one of the classes send an email to info@madameromanova.com with a note including the masterclass name and date.
