About Your Instructor:

She's blonde, buxom and beguiling. She's Melbourne's own Boudoir Babydoll. It's Valerie "Va Va" Valentine!

As far back as she can remember, Va Va has been star-struck with the glitz and glamour of the silver screen, rummaging her mums makeup bag and prancing around in her shiny Saturday night heels always waiting for anyone and any occasion to soak up the spotlight. As a formally trained classic ballet dancer with a bust and booty that just won't quit - Valerie spent many a moon dreaming of a home to shake it the way she was meant to.

A Maison Burlesque alumni herself, after her dazzling debut in 2019 at Cherry Poppers Solo Showcase, Va Va has sauntered stages over the east coast of Australia and graced many a lap(top) worldwide through digital cabarets in London and Spain. She has also been featured on the cover of many pinup publications in both Europe and America. Known for her cheeky charm this vintage vixen takes you back to the golden era of Burlesque one bunny hop at a time, like a living, breathing MGM Glamour Girl. Follow in the slipper clad footsteps of Marilyn, Mamie and Mansfield to learn a trick or three about pinup perfection.
