What do you love most about Shimmery Burlesque?
Celebrating womanhood in all its forms is incredibly important to me. After the show, so many women have approached me to share how empowered they felt watching us, and that feedback is truly the most rewarding part of being a performer and choreographer. I’m just so proud of what Shimmery represents. On days when I struggle to feel comfortable in my own skin, I remind myself that I have the opportunity to take the stage and show the audience that we are beautiful just as we are. This fuels me as a performer. I love being surrounded by so many inspiring Shimmery beauties!
"While I’ve been a performer all my life, I never imagined myself as a glamorous showgirl."
How did you become a Shimmery Showgirl?
I first met our fearless leader, Holly, during a dinner and theatre show we both worked on, where I was cast as a dancer. That experience introduced me to the world of burlesque. I remember going out for coffee with Holly and the real life Lady Shimmery, Kerrie, when they officially asked me to be the dance choreographer for Shimmery. I was absolutely speechless—it felt like a true ‘pinch me’ moment. While I’ve been a performer all my life, I never imagined myself as a glamorous showgirl. That just wasn't the type of role I'd been led to believe I deserved as a dancer. So it was completely unexpected to not only be entrusted with the choreography for Shimmery but also cast as a burlesque performer! It was just so special. I owe so much to Holly and Kerrie; they reignited my passion for performing and helped me discover the gorgeous showgirl that was always within me!
