Demelza Fox, Burlesque Bio
|
Demelza Fox is an award-winning Burlesque Performer who draws on her performance experience and world-class training as a professional belly dancer for the last 8 years. Demelza is known for her high energy performances, exquisite musicality, and absolutely show-stopping stage presence.
Demelza has been flirting with Burlesque since 2014, and started seriously performing Burlesque in 2016. She loves to combine decadent costumes, historical themes, and highly polished and musical choreographies… alongside ridiculous, fun and silly comedy acts. Demelza likes to choreograph group acts and performances and works with members of her performance collective, the Honeysuckle Sweethearts, to create exciting group pieces. She co-produces the biannual burlesque, dance and cabaret show The Honeysuckle Revue in Cambridge and London, which always has a number of group pieces in it. Demelza is also a professional mermaid and runs the mermaid entertainment company Merlesque Mermaids. Together with her mermaid partner Mairead Kelly they perform a successful and much-loved Comedy Singing Mermaid Act. Her main acts include: - Madame du Pompadour: a decadent 1700’s historical strip and fan dance - PG Tease: an adorable 1940’s-inspired tea making burlesque routine - The Gin Gatsby: highly polished 1920’s themed group act and strip tease. - Disco Gandalf: Middle Earth tomfoolery with everyone’s favourite stripping wizard |
