Hello Ladies, my name is Ginny Fonda and I am from Retford in North Nottinghamshire. I am a proud Queenager with many years on my back but they rest lightly.

I am a retired Licensee having been in the pub trade for 17 years. We still own our own pub. I have always enjoyed fitness and was a Competitive Swimmer for many years with some success.

I found Burlesque Chair Dance in January 2019 and was sold from the first class. I’ve never been one to dance, my feet rarely know how to behave and I have rogue legs, but after being shown and told what to do, what a revelation!

In January this year (2021) I received a phone call from our fabulous Boss Lady Bella Diamond inviting me to join Operation Foxtrot. I wasn’t an Instructor and was terrified at the thought of being amongst the very people I hero worshipped, but join I did !! I was thrust straight into hosting the Facebook live Challenges that BCD and Operation Foxtrot were bringing to the public during Covid Lockdown. It felt like a very big very bright light was on me and I knew I had to sink or swim. I remembered my training and I swam like mad 😂

Fast forwards 3 months and with the full support and encouragement of Foxtrot and the Boss Lady, here I stand, an Instructor in my own right. I have never felt more included or appreciated than I have these last few months, and It’s THAT feeling that I want to share.

Every lady should feel fabulous in their own skin, after all, no one can do YOU like you can!! Ladies who choose to dance with me will never feel less than anyone else and will never be less that amazing in my eyes. I hope to pass on the gifts that BCDUK have given me and bring glitter and sass to as many ladies as possible.

Come and join the Glitterati 💋🎉❤️

Love Ginny Fonda xxxx

Hi ladies, I am Miss Prudent Moneypenny, I have a background in personal training, boxercise, and core stability. I am also a qualified nutritional therapist….not to be confused with a nutritionist or dietitian.

I have had various roles in either health or sales all my life but I find the one I go back to that heals my soul to be health and fitness.

Like many people I’ve had a number of bumps in the road, including abusive relationships and quite a hard start in life but with exercise I normally manage to swing it around. It does get a little trickier as you get older but I enjoy the added challenge that that research brings. I have wanted to teach burlesque for at least five years since I attended a class in Birmingham and watched the film of course! I love Burlesque because I think it’s very empowering for women and this is important. I’m Looking for a community of women that want to get fit have a laugh and enjoy life that may even want to take part in dancing competitions in the long term!!

MY long term goal is to have a health farm that’s also gym, a spa, a dance studio a race track & a music theatre!

But first…let’s dance!

I can’t wait to meet you,

Miss Prudent MoneyPenny xx

Hello ladies,
I am “Miss Cherry Bomb” and I will be your Burlesque Chair Dance instructor for the Carlisle area.
I am a brand new instructor and really looking forward to building a friendly and welcoming burlesque community for you lovely ladies.

I love to dance and find it a great escape from my troubles and day to day life. I really enjoy how burlesque has built up my own self esteem and given me so much body confidence. I want to share that experience with you and make you feel fabulous.

My background is mostly in care. I work as a self employed private Carer for the young and the old in my community. I love what I do and they are like my extended family.

Like most women I know I’ve been through some tough times. So not only will my class be for dancing and exercise, it will also be a place you make new friends and have our support when needed.

I have had three children and far from having the perfect body, but that doesn’t matter! We Dance because we love how it makes us feel. All shapes, sizes, ages and abilities are welcome. Bullying will not be tolerated! We only build each-other up in burlesque.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Miss Cherry Bomb 🍒💣💋

Hey, I’m Claire aka Sugar Storm!

I started Burlesque Chair Dance Classes 3 years ago (January 2017), with Jade (Miniature Bliss) our Worksop Instructor, and then joined Donna’s (Boss Lady) Yummy Mummies class as daytime classes fit in much better with my childcare needs.

I did drama as a child and when I started Burlesque Chair Dance I had not been on stage since being 15/16 years old!

Burlesque Chair Dance is the first dance class I’ve ever taken, these classes have encouraged my cheeky side and given me the opportunity to do things that I probably would never have done; performing on stage in front of 300 people, taking part in a Fire Walk (naked!) for UK Pride and turning up to new places – on my own!

Over the years I had gained weight, and whilst most would assume, I was happy and confident; I wasn’t! I hated what I saw in the mirror, I was in a toxic marriage that did nothing for my self-esteem, and I felt stuck and miserable.

Fast forward 5/6 years I divorced and reunited with an old flame from school who encouraged me to go along to my first Burlesque Chair Dance Class. A friend had told me about the classes in the school playground, I was definitely intrigued. I went straight home and told the other half all about it, he encouraged me every step of the way, said it would be good for me. He wasn’t wrong! So, Saturday afternoon came along, I pulled out the leggings that I’d never worn, found a baggy vest top to hide under, and off I went for my first BCD class.

Naturally I sat at the back of the class lol, but I loved it! I’d found something for me that I enjoyed and would help me get fitter! Within a few short months I found myself ordering that dance kit and yes; even the hot pants and fishnets! I began sitting at the front of the class gaining new confidence with each passing week. I even signed up for the Annual Show and Open Stage Night during that same year!

I’ve lost 3 and a half stone since starting BCD classes and believe I’m the fittest I’ve ever been!

I want to help and inspire other women to get fit, build confidence and feel great in your own skin!

There’s no “one size fits all” with Burlesque Chair Dance!

We LOVED seeing the new lease of life this last 3 months fundraising fitness frenzy gave us; the confidence gained, the new found energy & happiness, and the overwhelming difference in the dancers that took part has been phenomenal!

So phenomenal in fact, we can’t just leave it there – we want to offer the same opportunity to all our dancers who may be feeling unfit, unconfident and in need of some support to shed the lockdown lbs.

So, we’ve created BURN CLUB and we start next week!

BURN CLUB is £5 a week, that’s it! One live class and 3 x 30 minute online classes via zoom weekly (live & recorded). FREE Diet Plans, Tailored Support & Advice, and most of all; an amazing SUPPORT NETWORK to help you succeed.

Live:
Thursdays 6:15pm-7:15pm

We’ll be doing a combination of workouts designed to speed up your metabolism, kick start fast weight loss and BURN off those lockdown lbs!
