LOVE FOR SALE - Roxy's signature burlesque act and a guaranteed show stealer.
Sultry and audacious this act has Parisian class and English wit. A midnight blue fan dance in Swarovski embellished French lingerie; a slickly choreographed striptease and some saucy audience interaction precede the explosive champagne finale for which Roxy is renowned. The strip can be toned down if required.
Music: Love for Sale - Eartha Kitt, Whatever Lola Wants - Sarah Vaughn, Sparkling Diamonds
Costume: Midnight blue and black Swarovski and feather. Vintage.
BAD THINGS - Fire Act.
Bad Things’ is a slinky fire act with a dark, diva-ish sophistication. Costumed in deep purple and black silk and lace embellished with Swarovski crystals and a gothic Vegas headdress, Roxy performs a hypnotic fire fan dance and fire fakir while stripping down to crystal flame pasties. A contemporary take on burlesque and fire cabaret.
Music: Bad Things - Jace Everett, Welcome to Burlesque - Cher.
Costume: Purple and Black Swarovski. Vintage.
China Girl – Fire Swords
The ‘China Girl’ act is inspired by the opulence of the ancient Chinese dynasties. Crimson reds and bright gold silks, coins, crystals, embroidery and sequins adorn this richly textured and multi-layered costume. Roxy performs a striptease on glittering gold point shoes with Chinese fans, a flurry of paper butterflies and a pair of Shaolin swords which burst into flames for a dramatic finale.
Music: Chinese Film Score
Costume: Red and Gold
Snow Queen - Classic
‘The Snow Queen’ is an entrancing take on classical burlesque to the soundtrack of Vivaldi’s Winter. In a snow white bodice dripping with glass beads and a sweeping marabou feather tail, Roxy dances en pointe with sumptuous white boa fans and performs an elegant striptease under falling snow or with an explosion of confetti.
Also available as an aerial/burlesque routine.
