Burlesque Performance Mentorship
From Act Development to Stage-Ready Performance
With more than 20 years of professional performance experience, I bring a deep understanding of burlesque, stagecraft, movement, and what it takes to create a memorable performance.
As a mentor, I work with performers to develop their ideas, strengthen their acts, and bring their creative vision to the stage. Whether you're preparing for a competition or simply want to take your performance to the next level, mentorship is tailored to you, your act, and your goals.
In 2024, I was awarded Master Mentor at the international Golden Legend Champion Challenge (GLCC). In 2025, I was honored as Grand Master Mentor, following another successful year for my protégés, including an Overall Grand Champion title for the second consecutive year.
Who Is Mentorship For?
Mentorship is for performers who are ready to take their work further, whether you're:
-
Developing your first competition or showcase act
-
Refining an existing routine
-
Looking for another set of experienced eyes on your performance
-
Working on stage presence, movement, or storytelling
-
Developing your music, costuming, props, or overall concept
-
Preparing for a competition
-
Looking for a clearer creative direction
-
Wanting to feel more confident and prepared on stage
You don't have to be competing to benefit from mentorship.
What we will work on
Every session is tailored to you and your act. Depending on your goals, we may work on:
Act Development
Structure, pacing, transitions, movement, and creating a performance that holds an audience's attention.
Stage Presence
Learning how to use the stage, connect with an audience, and make every moment of your performance count.
Storytelling & Character
Bringing together music, movement, costuming, and character to create a cohesive performance.
Creative Direction
Taking an idea and developing it into an act that feels complete, intentional, and uniquely yours.
Competition Preparation
Refining your performance with competition criteria, presentation, and polish in mind.
Performance Confidence
Working through nerves and learning how to trust your preparation so you can perform with confidence.
My Mentorship Experience
My experience as a mentor began long before GLCC. While producing my own Burlesque Revue, I trained and prepared performers for my shows, helping them develop their acts, work the stage, and become stronger performers.
That experience continued through my work with GLCC, where I have mentored performers through the process of developing and preparing competition acts.
My experience includes:
-
Master Mentor — GLCC, 2024
-
Grand Master Mentor — GLCC, 2025
-
Protégés who have earned multiple GLCC crowns
-
Overall Grand Champion protégés for two consecutive years
-
Training and preparing performers for my own Burlesque Revue productions
-
Helping performers develop and polish acts for live audiences
-
Experience with classic burlesque, specialty acts, movement, props, and aerial performance
