BURLESQUE
An award-winning performer (Bizarre Magazine Battle of Burlesque Champion 2008 & Finalist in MoB Awards 2007 - Best Newcomer) Daiquiri Dusk is one of Scotland's sassiest starlets. Graduating this year with an M/A (Hons) in Theatre, Film & Television Studies from Glasgow University, she is an established performer, with a background in theatre (10 years performance experience) and highland dance (15 years experience). She has entertained a plethora of clients at public events, private functions (including birthdays & weddings), club nights, charity fundraisers, festivals and corporate parties as well as appearing in numerous short films and on television.
Having trained with the Academy of Burlesque & Cabaret, Daiquiri offers her own take on burlesque - specialising in cute, traditional cheesecake acts which include balloon-popping, fan-dancing, strip-teasing & tassel twirling. She also offers highland-dancing burlesque and strip-tease contortion acts for less traditional events.
For available acts, please see blog. Custom routines available on request.
