Quality Wine and Champagne fit for a Burlesque Queen

Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque would like to take a moment to introduce you to a company called 'Lightfoot's Wine Line' - purveyors of fine wines and quality spirits.  This company are oh-so-relevant to Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque because Lightfoot's Wine Line is a company founded by the Father of SotBB's very own creator and performer: Deadly Nightshade.

It is only fitting that a burlesque performer is schooled in the art of choosing a crisp, clear and classy champagne or a quality bottle of ruby red decadence don't you think?   And Deadly Nightshade has used her schooling to choose a very special prize from the selection at Lightfoot's.  This prize has been kindly donated to the 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque House of Horrors' raffle and comes in the form of delicious pink champagne and Lindt chocolate truffles!  Ooooh, we are foaming at the mouth a little!

To see what other lovely treats Lightfoot's has to offer, take a peek at their website: http://www.lightfootwines.co.uk/, in the mean time we will leave you with some of our favourite burlesque meets alcohol - in a good way - photographs!

Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Course: Burlesque Lessons

*RECOMMENDED BY INTERNATIONAL BURLESQUE MAGAZINE, THE 'BURLESQUE BIBLE'*

Experienced burlesque performers Deadly Nightshade and Cherry Du Bois began the 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Course' in July 2011.  Deadly and Cherry began performing in 2007, and Deadly has been running 'Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque', a quarterly burlesque event since 2008. The pair's experience and knowledge in this field has led to them designing and teaching a very informative ten week Burlesque Course which is aimed at covering all areas of the art of the tease, from creating a stage persona and building confidence to lacing a corset correctly.

If you embark upon this ten week course, you will learn everything from posing and pouting to peeling and tassel twirling (for those who feel comfortable!) With a workshop to teach you how to create vintage hair and make-up, and one to teach you how to make your very own tassels all included in the price!

You can subscribe for the full ten weeks, or simply pick and choose which classes you would like to attend and drop into them* - please do let us know you're coming first though by emailing info@secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com.

Tutor - Deadly Nightshade


The LAST EVER 10 week Course will start on Tuesday the 30th April 2013 beginning at 7.30pm and ending at 9.00pm in the upstairs room at the Shakespeare pub, Sheffield, they will run consecutively on Tuesdays for ten weeks and will be priced at £10 each. You will receive a £10 discount if you block book all ten lessons with us in advance, making one lesson free.  This is a great idea if you would like to purchase this experience as a gift for a loved one. To book, or for any further information, please email info@secretsoftheboudoirburlesque.com.


Tutor - Cherry Du Bois
"The Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque course is the perfect introduction to the world of burlesque. The wonderful teaching by Deadly Nightshade and Cherry Du Bois ensures that you learn the essential basics to build into a routine and their personal approach both reassures you and helps you perfect those tricky techniques. The atmosphere is intimate and fun. You can easily leave all your hang ups at the door and immerse yourself in the experience. It's not only a great place to learn but also a great place to meet like minded people and socialize. A class camaraderie soon forms providing the 'tongue in cheek' fun that burlesque requires. Anyone considering trying out burlesque should try out this class as it's the best value for money around!" - Tahlullah Manhatten, class member 2011.

*We do recommend you attend ALL lessons within this course for a fuller experience.
