Just a wee reminder (can you tell I've been in Scotland for a while?) about the Burlesque on Wheels Workshop coming to Cleveland June 11th!!! 

Hold on to your hats cause these dames will make you dizzy with their whirlwind of tips and tricks. If you are currently performing, want to perform, just really like burlesque and want to have some fun then sign up. This combo in Cleveland may never happen again. Here's where to register.

For the next few weeks we will be featuring one of the gals who will be teaching in the workshop. Our first feature, Atlanta's own Vagina Jenkins.

Since 2003, The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins has been gracing stages worldwide with her classic, breathtaking striptease. An ecdysiast exemplar, Vagina Jenkins style puts a modern spin on classic burlesque, hoochiecoochie & shake dancer traditions. 

The Lady Ms. Vagina Jenkins uses African American vernacular dance, the conventions of vaudeville and low brow theatre as well as feminist/ queer performance art techniques to craft performance art that defies audience expectations and re-defines the boundaries of the modern art making process.

In the Burlesque on Wheels workshop Vag will be teaching you all about Bump and Grind!!! Watch more of Ms. Jenkins below!

JAGGED: A Contemporary Pole Dance Company, has made it on to Season 6 of America's Best Dance Crew. The season starts Thursday, April 7th. I've been checking out the group on YouTube and their website. I can't wait to see what they do on ABDC.

I'm out of town this weekend, but still trying to post things for you. Nothing much to read today, but this is way better than anything I could write at this time.  Enjoy!
