hi ladies i'm just starting out in the world of burlesque, i've been to a few shows, all the performances have been amazing and i'm really looking to get to know people involved in the burlesque circuit who i can go to shows with and who'll teach me a thing or 2. i guess what i'm looking for is someone to be a mentor and take me under their wing. A friendly helping hand would be very much appreciated.. hope to hear from you soon X

Hiya hun! I'm in Leeds! How may I be of service to you? xxxxxx

hi sweetie! i guess im just after someone i can go to shows with (i only know of the slippery belle at subculture) and introduce me to the world of burlesque! im also wanting to get into performing but don't really know where to start!

Well you are more than welcome to come along to shows with me! There isn't that much in Leeds at the moment, there is Slippery Belle on 1st Saturday of every month which is the main night and they run classes there which are the ones I did and I had so much fun! The Wet Spot is on 20th June which is quite a way away but there are usually other stuff in between. There's quite a bit in Manchester and a few nights in Hull if your willing to travel

Are you on facebook/myspace at all? I can send you some links, I'm pretty new been performing since January so I'm no expert but will help any way I can

aw thank you its so sweet of you! i have myspace if you search trixie deville in display name you'll find me! and on facebook search danielle pritchard and i should pop up! ooh classes at subculture sounds fab do you know when the next ones are starting? X
