Moving into the New Year

  New Year's Eve with Romantasy Cabaret and Burlescapades was a night to remember....
Now, moving forward into 2012, I am preparing my costumes and solos for the upcoming season auditions. For those who have been asking my process, I thought I would share it with you now, since I'm currently working on projects this moment.
  Usually when I choreograph, I have key points in the music that I want specific moves to happen. Once I decide on those, I fill in my dance, making sure the moves I choose not only stand on their own, but really showcase those points. 
  My costume takes shape from how I want my routine to end. Deciding my 'reveals' determines my costume...so I work backwards on garments, assuring function first. When I know the garment(s) work, I begin design and embellishment.
  I look forward to my new solos, as well as our new Burlescapades Troupe numbers!
  Until next time......<3

Burlesque Season, Phoenix, Az 2011

Auditions have ended for Romantasy Cabaret's August 27th Show have ended, and I'm just finishing my costumes now. I will be performing more of a classic Burlesque piece this show. Dry run is this Sunday, followed by Dress Rehearsal next Sunday.

Auditions for the RC Halloween Show are Sept 11th. I will be auditioning 2 solo pieces, both strip-tease, as well as a Burly number with my troupe, Burlescapades. Costume work for all this begins Tuesday. It's always harder to coordinate a Troupe piece, esp the costumes. This can turn into a very pricey undertaking if you don't pull out all your creative tricks.

Fabric for Holiday Shows has been ordered, and music has been chosen. Again, I've chosen a very classic Burlesque strip-tease, as well as a partner dance number.

stay tuned for updates......
