Purrrlesque Saturday March 26th
Feline Entertainment & Fanatique de Glam formed an alliance in 2008
with the collective thought process of growing the opportunity for
burlesque in NC. When that partnership didn’t work Feline Entertainment
coupled up, PUN intended, with the amazingness of a great COUPLE~ Jeff
and Jenn Martin. Together Burlesk! Continued to live on each month at
Artistika Nightclub until the birth of Purrrlesque! and a great move to the Blind Tiger on Walker Ave. Melding with the Blind Tiger’s rich 22+ year history to keep live entertainment alive in Greensboro it was a natural fit. Tiger RoxXx, Jeff and Jenn Martin work
hard to produce amazing and wonderful shows with the idea of not trying
to form a troupe but allowing the various performers from of the
Eastern Regions of the states a consistent venue to perform, the
audience a great place to have fun and enjoy a show, and the art of
Burlesque to continue as the legends of yesteryear would be proud. We
are trying to open the area to everyone and anyone who needs a venue to
perform Burlesque. We have found (like many art forms) the same group
of people move around different circles and while the venues might
change, the faces are the same, making it hard for a newcomer to get on
the scene. We like to hold auditions, and already have many successful
first timers to the world of Burlesque who have gone on to perform
around the state.

Miss Bliss Friday March 25th
Sashame(sa-ShaMay)- Saturday March 26th
Sashame has been
dancing since she was four years old, when she took her first dance class in
Florida. At 17, she began studying classical ballet at the Winchester Ballet
Company, founded by her mother and Jamie Planck in Winchester, Kentucky. As a
ballet student, she danced for 10 years on both flat and pointe and became a
core member of the studio’s dance troupe.
Trading her ballet shoes for hip scarves, she began belly dancing in the fall of 2006. She is influenced by Tribal Fusion belly dancers Zoe Jakes and Rachel Brice, although she is currently delving into Egyptian Cabaret style. Check out Sashame performing with Torque at Summer Solstice 2009.
