✨ Behind the Sparkle: Students Prepare for their Burlesque Showcase

As we count down to the Miss Kitty’s Meow End of Year Showcase (December 6 & 7 at Moonah Arts Centre), we are buzzing with energy, laughter, and plenty of rhinestones! 💋

I find this time of year extra special — it’s when students take everything they’ve learned in class. But oh my goodness they go that extra level!

What I love seeing is how it all goes from just some steps I have put to music to something that is so much more creative - where everyone develops their own persona for the stage!

I was saying in class recently that this is like a paint by dots picture - I’ve set the outline and now they are doing all the colouring in!

💃 Rehearsals are in Full Swing

Rehearsals are now happening. And it is where the magic starts to take shape. Our students are refining choreography, testing costume ideas, and learning how to bring their unique personalities to the stage.

There’s plenty of laughter, a few dropped gloves, ripped fishnets and the occasional sparkle explosion, but that’s all part of the fun!.

I think the biggest change from a regular class to a rehearsal is just helping each performer develop their own style and story.

Some people are really powerful and dramatic on stage - others playful and comedic. It’s just finding the confidence to experiment!

👠 The Miss Kitty’s Meow Community

I founded Miss Kitty’s Meow because I wanted a home where burlesque is for every body — a place to explore movement, glamour, and self-expression in a supportive, empowering space.

It’s no judgement for people that just love to come and move their body and have fun.

But it’s also great to celebrate the transformation that burlesque can bring.

It might sound cheesy but I ultimately believe this is the power of finding any artistic outlet that lights you up! Because I see people that couldn’t look in the mirror - to laughter, friendships, tears and hard work!

And when the curtain rises, you can feel that magic radiate from the stage.
