The sharing vibes.

Celebrating self-expression in all its truth. She sees Burlesque as a space where you can dare to step out of your comfort zone, reveal yourself without any filter and share who you really are. It's in those interactions, shared glances, and moments suspended in time, that she finds deep meaning: giving and receiving, with sincerity, so that barriers can fall and everyone can exist in their full humanity.

Let's not settle for what we have. Let's learn tirelessly, share with passion, and make every encounter an opportunity to broaden our horizons so that we can grow without limits.

A good communicator with a keen sense for details, she knows how to bring forward the right questions. Furthermore, she is always there to make herself heard (both literally and figuratively), as attested by the Octopus Team and their volunteers.

The things she loves about Burlesque:

The open-minded attitude towards body perception. For her, watching Burlesque acts is about celebrating bodies, each so wonderfully different from one another. It's about embracing all body sizes and shapes, wrinkles, gender expressions, skin tones, stretch marks, small or generous breasts, baldness, cellulite, body hair, sagging skin, visible bones…

Let's be proud to strip down without being ashamed to celebrate our bodies.

Used to working in a team, she throws herself wholeheartedly into whatever she undertakes. She loves contributing and, above all, being helpful. After all, when passion is alive, the hours don't count.

The things she loves about Burlesque:

The authenticity of each artist. Sometimes, too constrained by our personal and/or professional lives, we no longer dare to be genuine. On the other hand, the Burlesque scene offers everyone a place where they can exist. She loves the invitation to let go, the opportunity to be yourself with or without pretenses. A value that is particularly dear to her heart due to her experiences in the dance industry.

Her credo:

We were not born to be perfect, we were born to be real. So be perfectly you!

Combining gentleness and strength, Rose takes care of everyone. Attentive to the well-being of each person down to the smallest details, she offers encouragement, compliments, and even hugs when she feels they are needed...

The things she loves about Burlesque:

It's an interlude of freedom where kindness reigns and an invitation to let go. It's a space where each person can play at being whoever they want to be in order to focus on what's essential: enjoying themselves and sharing.

Her credo:

Explore and test all aspects of yourself to better discover who you are.

For her, Burlesque is a boundless artform that transcends societal norms and personal limitations. It is above all about being free : free to be oneself, free to be someone else, free to create beauty, free to make people laugh, free to make people cry. More than being a comprehensive artform, Burlesque allows you to explore, understand and learn to love yourself.

Her credo:

If someone is a bother, spray them with glitter.

Her credo:

Let's embrace everyone's differences, the world would be sad and dull if we were all the same.
