My Name is Aubrey (Aubz for short) and I currently teach chair dancing classes and flirty fitness classes. I have taken ballet, jazz, tap, and recently a feather dance class and I feel in love so that what I hope to learn more of. I am inspired by any woman with self confidence and poise, but one of my favs is Ms. Kitty Victorian (shes who I took the feather dance class from).

Future plans to just keep evolving into burlesque style dances and maybe one day perform myself :)

My Christian name is JoEllyn but my singing/pinup stage name is Pearls Mahone (when I did burlesque it was Stella Breathless)

I sing in a rockabilly/country blues band called Pearls Mahone & The OneEyed Jacks.  But I also love to sing torch songs, jazz, blues, bluegrass, opera, and classical---and EVERYTHING in between!  R&B, hiphop, pop, etc.

I of course am inspired by Kitty Wells, Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, but also Johnny Cash, Iris Dement, The Carter Family, Elvis Presley, and SOOOOO many more!

Future plans---I really want to get out to the west coast and play!  I played Viva Las Vegas 15 this year, am hoping I get asked back!!!!  I'd love to tour Cali, NV, and TX next summer!  Any help with booking agents, club contacts, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

My name is Lila Starlet. I dance with a burlesque troupe in South Florida called Cupcake Burlesque and I love it. I mainly do burlesque, but I am also part of a dance company called Masala Fusion which is a bellydance company.  I have studied ballet, jazz, flamenco, and argentine tango. I would love to do more tango and jazz, and also learn some swing dancing. 

My dance inspirations include Dita Von Teese, Coco Lectric, Roxi D'lite, Dirty Martini, Inga Ingenue. Also some bellydancers, Zoe Jakes, Rachel Brice, Bryanna, etc.

I am also part of an underwater swim show doing retro aquatic themed shows at the Wreck Bar in Ft. Lauderdale. It's really fun and also we work to preserve one of the last remaining porthole bar pools in Florida from the golden age of tourism in the 1950s.
