What people are saying about Anna’s pin-up posing workshops!

“Can’t even begin to say how amazing today’s workshop with Anna Fur Laxis was! Tons of tips, tricks, confidence boosting and awesomeness. LOVED IT!”

“Anna is pure grace, beauty and elegance personified. These qualities came through this entire AWESOME workshop as she shared her many insights into how to be confident on camera. Anna shared not only practical ways to perform in front of the camera, but also about more technical aspects and how to get into character. I learnt so many invaluable tips and ideas that I would never have thought about before attending this course, it has most certainly increased my confidence and got me happily posing away in front of a camera. It was also fabulous and fun.”

“Anna Fur Laxis is a wonderful teacher, kind and patient. Her advice proved invaluable, and her understanding of lack of confidence was sweet ad lovely. I’ve learned about technical aspects of photography, lighting, and a makeup trick I never knew! I can only say that I wish I could take more classes and workshops with her, as she is clearly a mine of information, fun and friendliness”



7.30pm in the Shakespeare pub, Gibralter Street, Sheffield, S3 8UB.

10th July 2012.

£20 per person, a limited number of spaces are available in this Workshop, therefore only advance bookings will be accepted.

Miss Moonlight, Maria Moreish and Raven Noir all gave stellar performances and seriously lifted the bar high....my new act 'The Woman' didn't go down too badly either.

Fan Dancing Workshop

On Tuesday the 12th of June 2012...two days after Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque Raises the Temperature, we are holding a Fan Dancing Workshop with the fabulous Selina Favelle.

Selina will be travelling all the way from Germany to grace the UK with her presence for ONE WEEK ONLY and we have snapped her up to not only perform at 'Raises the Temperature', but to teach you all how to fan dance too!


Selina began performing six years ago when she attended an amateur burlesque competition in her home town of Sheffield, here she met Secrets of the Boudoir Burlesque, or as she puts it "I met a large group of ladies and gentlemen who loved the burlesque world and I wanted to continue performing with them, and for them." Selina became a Secrets regular and a hot little star on the burlesque circuit alongside performing at Spearmint Rhinos Gentleman's Club using props such as large feather fans and gloves, alongside pole work which Selina says was "a great success!"


Selina hung up her high heels in 2008 when she joined the Army and worked in Afghanistan as a Medic, she is currently now an 'Army Wife' living in Germany and is at the centre of 'Betty's Holding out for a Hero Charity Calendar' which is a pin-up calendar that aims to raise money for Help For Heroes.


Having performed all across the UK, Germany and France, no one is better equipped than Selina to teach the fine art of Fan Dancing.  Don't believe us?  Then come and watch her perform at Secrets...Raises the Temperature on June 10th 2012 in Sheffield...
