Tempest Rose

Tempest Rose is 26 and teaches burlesque classes, pole dancing parties, Dirty Dancing parties and can-can hen parties in London
Different day job: Professional burlesque performer and core-member of The Kitten Club - burlesque cabaret troupe.
What do you love most about dancing: When I first discovered burlesque I was blown away. Here was an artform that allowed me to be sexy, funny, use the skills I'd acquired over my 15 years as a performer and most importantly - express myself! The burlesque course is great because it gives women a space to expore all of these things, to build their confidence and have fun. The most important thing for me as a teacher and performer is to see the women grow to love something that I love and to see them taking the confidence and elegance acquired during the course out of the room into their lives and to feel happier and more comfortable with themselves.
Fave song to dance to: So many! Nasty Naughty Boy by Christina Aguilera, anything by Madonna and any sexy jazz.
Most embarrassing incident while teaching/performing: Any embarrassment can be overcome with confidence!!
Where you can find me: Scouting out beautiful lingerie, buying corsets in Camden, sipping martini's at Volupte, backstage at the New Players Theatre or haggling over the price of feathers. You can read more about my work at www.tempestrose.com or www.myspace.com/tempestroseburlesque
