About Us.

About Us.

If you’ve found your way to our website, the chances are that you’re interested in taking part in our all-shimmying, all-dancing and all-fabulous burlesque courses – and why not!

Love You Burlesque began as the Burlesque Jems in 2011 and since then, we have flourished beyond belief! After many years of shaking what our Mamma’s gave us, we decided that it was time for a revamp.

So, with brand new management in the form of tutors Lizzie & Bitsy, a shiny new name and logo, and a few brand new tutors, we prepared to take the world by storm in our frilly knickers, feather boas and sequinned bras!

In February 2022 Lizzie Lovelace left the company to persue other interests and so Bitsy Sunshine took over the reigns and added her own brand of fabulousness, re-introducing the Summer Cabaret and encouraging tutors to find their own style of burlesque.

But why should you choose to dance with us? We can think of a million reasons, but here are just a few:

In January 2022 we returned to our 8 week courses and invite you to come and try one of classes for just £5. Head on over to our Shimmy For a Fiver page to see when the next Shimmy For a Fiver date is in a class near you.

Our Mission

Body Positivity for Any Body.

At Love You Burlesque, we love getting our glad-rags on and taking to the stage in our frilly knickers. One of our favourite things is whipping off a glove in a fabulous fashion, and there’s nothing quite like tickling the audiences’ fancy with a feather boa!

Whilst we absolutely love all the sparkly and feathery goodness that comes with being part of Love You Burlesque, we are also on a mission of our own.

We are on a mission to spread the message of body positivity and self-love far and wide! We want the world to know that ALL bodies are worthy of self-love and ALL bodies are burlesque bodies!

We recognise that society has been putting people down for too long, and Love You Burlesque provides a safe and fun place for women to express themselves, learn exciting routines and forge unforgettable friendships with fellow members.

Where can you see us in action?

Throughout the year there a lots of opportunities to see us sparkle, shine and just generally being fabulous!

These are also a great opportunity for you to meet our amazing ladies, and find out how you can get involved. We look forward to dancing with you soon!
