I just wanted to send you a testimonial from me and my girls after my can-can party on 28th March was such a success, that you could post on your website.  I booked a Can-Can party for my hen weekend in Bournemouth in March 2015, our instructor was Miss Storm E Knight and I just wanted to post a quick message to say what a fantastic time we all had. Storm was great, really helped us relax, had a great sense of humour, let us laugh at ourselves and was very complimentary even though a couple of us felt a bit embarrassed to start off with. Come the end of the session we were all drenched in sweat, whooping and yipping with the best of them and everyone involved had a brilliant time. The routine was easy to pick up and fun to perform. I would highly, highly, highly recommend others give it a try; perfect for a hen weekend or a birthday party, it was an absolute barrel of laughs from start to finish. Thank you so much Jane for helping me arrange this session, as said above we really had such a brilliant time I think everyone was disappointed when it was over despite being completely knackered and red as a beetroot! I shall be looking for an excuse to book another party as soon as I can I think haha.  Thanks again. – Gemma K, for can-can hen party, Bournemouth, April 2015

We all thoroughly enjoyed it – by the end of the 2 hours it felt as though we were fully fledged burlesque goddesses and we can pull gloves off with our teeth and ‘tassel’ with the best of them! It was really fun, a good workout and Roxy was a fantastic teacher – encouraging, engaging and wonderful to watch. Thank you again – I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your lessons to anyone else wanting 2 hours of fun, laughs and naughtiness! – Abi C, for burlesque hen party London, July 2011

Thank you so much for arranging a fabulous afternoon at our hen party burlesque lesson in London on Saturday. Despite being all different ages, sizes and different levels of body confidence, we all had a wonderful day and everyone has let me know that they were so pleased with how relaxed and fun the class was. Little Miss Roxy was a fantastic teacher and really brought us out of ourselves – I certainly never thought I’d see my mother and the bride’s mother-in-law-to-be twirling their tassels with delight! I will certainly be recommending you to friends as a great way of having fun and feeling fantastic. – Rachel G, for burlesque hen party London, July 2011

It was my hen party on Saturday and myself and 8 of my friends took part in the burlesque hen party in Glasgow. We all just wanted to let you know that we had such a fantastic time. We were quite nervous before we started but our teacher Miss April Husk was brilliant! She put everyone at ease and we had such a laugh choosing our burlesque names – that was just the start of a brilliant night. We all loved prancing, posing and strutting. The glove routine was my favourite part but can honestly say we all enjoyed every minute. We loved giving the nipple tassels a go too. – Pamela K, for burlesque hen party Glasgow, May 2011

Hey, just a quick email to say thank you so much for the burlesque hen party in Crieff on Saturday. It was absolutely amazing, everyone from 25 to 60 had a fantastic time and can honestly say it’s the most fun I’ve ever had. My face was so sore from smiling 2 hours straight! Gypsy was just awesome – everybody loved her and she’s so funny! – Emma M, for burlesque hen party Crieff, June 2011

I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for our burlesque hen party in Exeter. Miss Blue Belle was fantastic and it was fascinating to hear about her stories as a burlesque dancer. She was a great laugh, felt like one of the group, and the party was an overwhelming success! Even the unsure members of the group who almost pulled out of the weekend because of our activity choice, couldn’t stop laughing!! They didn’t at any point during the party feel self conscious and everyone did the little performance at the end of the lesson. I can’t tell you how much they laughed!! Above all my sister enjoyed every second of it which was the most important thing. The girls are still talking about it now and I know they will be for years to come. – Devina C, for burlesque hen party Exeter, March 2011

I would like to say a huge thank you for our burlesque hen party in Cheltenham on Saturday. Miss Foxy Fatale was fantastic, really fun and got all of us into it! It was such a good morning, and everyone has been saying how much they enjoyed it. The moves we learnt made up the majority of our dancing in the evening with us strutting and slinking our way around Cheltenham. Thank you so much and I really appreciate all of your help in making my sister’s hen party so memorable. – Bethany C, for burlesque hen party Cheltenham, Feb 2011

Just wanted to drop you an e-mail saying how much of a great time we all had at the can-can hen party in Aberdeen, the bride-to-be especially!

I am just dropping you a line to thank you for all your help with organising the burlesque hen party in Aylesbury which went smoothly. Everyone had so much fun learning the moves and how to use the nipple tassels! Bonnie Heather was also a fantastic teacher. If we can remember all the moves, the bride-to-be is talking about us showing them off (fully clothed of course) at her wedding reception! – Louise N, for burlesque hen party Aylesbury, June 2011

Just wanted to thank you and Miss Sheila Star for a fantastic burlesque hen party in Weymouth. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and nerves soon went out the window. By the time we got to the nipple tassels there was no stopping us, the ‘dirty old man’ being our favourite move. We’re thinking nipple tassels may have to make an appearance at the wedding along with a lot of sexy walking!! – Natalie R, for burlesque hen party Weymouth, June 2011

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Miss Blue Belle for a fantastic night of burlesque in the Cotswolds! It was absolutely brilliant and all had an amazing time!

I just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the burlesque session in Bath on Saturday, we all loved it and had such a good time and it really did make my hen party!

Just wanted to let you know that we all had a fantastic time at our burlesque hen party in Edinburgh and, after all the questions, twirled the tassels after all! Miss Sass Galore was a wonderful teacher and made us all laugh loads. I’d recommend the burlesque hen party class to anyone looking for a function with a difference. The venue was perfect too and I ‘S-shaped’ my ass off when I got picked as best dressed runner up at Vegas later on! – Zoe J, for burlesque hen party Edinburgh, July 2011

I had a fantastic time at my hen do on Saturday which was a burlesque class with Bonnie Heather in Covent Garden, London.

We loved learning the moves and all had a good laugh – I will definitely be recommending your company and Belle! – Rachel S, Bristol, April 2011

Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing can-can hen party in Leeds on Saturday. My friends had a brilliant time and talked about it all evening! There were many many showgirl poses on the dancefloor. My mum especially loved it – I think she’s missed her calling but perhaps at 60 it’s too late for a career change. The showgirl names were a great icebreaker. We’ve got also a cracking video of the final performance! – Charlotte C, for can-can hen party Leeds, May 2011

I just wanted to write to you to thank you for the AMAZING time we had yesterday at our burlesque hen party in Brighton. Gypsy was so amazing as a teacher, had us in stitches! All in all it was completely wonderful. We even might go up and see Gypsy perform in London next week, which is something we’re both really looking forward to! I just wanted to let you know how much the whole experience meant to us and thank you! – Ally H, for burlesque hen party Brighton, May 2010

I wanted to write a quick note of thanks for the fantastic whistle-stop tour of burlesque on Saturday afternoon – it was SUCH a lot of fun, and everyone had a great time! Some of the girls were a little nervous beforehand but you made everyone feel completely happy and at ease and you created such a fun environment – all the girls all had a blast and were S-posing all over the place afterwards I’m so happy that we went with your company. As I briefly mentioned to you before, I did a class with xxx a while back and it was completely the opposite experience – there were actually girls crying in the toilets – but all the girls left your class feeling on top of the world and with huge smiles on their faces. So a big, big THANK YOU, it was absolutely perfect, and much better than I could ever have expected. And bridey was in burly heaven, so, mission accomplished! Thank you thank you thank you, you were truly amazing! – Marie S, Brighton

I’d like to enthusiastically echo my friend’s email <above>, it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Some of the girls who had never been to a burly show before are clamouring for me to set up a trip to a burlesque show, so you’ve also made a number of converts to the cause! I love love LOVED every second of it, it absolutely flew by – I want to do it all again immediately if not sooner! – J Burns, Brighton

I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you for organising an excellent afternoon of burlesque at our hen party in Southampton! Our teacher, Miss Dolce Vita, was a delight to work with and really helped a group of embarrassed young ladies enjoy themselves! Since I pretty much press-ganged all those involved in the day into coming, she really could have had a tough time encouraging us to let go and have some fun, but her energy and enthusiasm really was infectious and we were buzzing about the lesson all that evening and even at my wedding the following day! I love burlesque and it was great to be able to learn a little bit at our own pace. – Vintage Vixen, Southampton

Just a quick mail to say thank you to Gypsy for a great burlesque hen party in Aberdeen. We all really enjoyed it and it started our hennie off just perfectly!

I wanted to thank Eva L’Amour for helping us have probably one of the best nights out ever – the burlesque hen party in Dundee was amazing and my hubby was gobsmacked when he saw the pictures of me with nipple tassels on (I’m not a bad twirler as it happens!). Our sides were splitting by the end of the night. – Gill C, Dundee

Ms Gypsy Charms!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful burlesque class! I and my entourage of 27 hens had a fantastic time at the class you did for us at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for such a fabulous afternoon in Norfolk. Some of the girls were a bit nervous when I first started talking about burlesque and especially when I suggested corsets. Nevertheless, they all absolutely loved it and in fact have said that the whole experience was one of the best things they have ever done!

Re the 80s – well what can I say?? I did tell you that we were a bunch of old birds and this session massively hit the spot with everyone – particularly the Flashdance routine!! We managed to capture our final attempt on video and the concentration on everyone’s face is absolutely hilarious!! I think we were all really feeling that it was in fact the most important moment of our lives!! There is talk of putting on the routine at the wedding itself, which I suspect will be less funny without our wigs and tutus but I imagine it may well happen after a few beers!! You did a fantastic job of keeping control of such a rowdy bunch and thank you for staying for a bit longer. I’ve attached one for your comedy delight (really feeling the pain!!) – Caroline W, Essex (through our sister site, Charm School)

Hi, just a quick note to say that our burlesque hen party in Cardiff was FABULOUS! There was so much more to it than we expected and it was really interesting learning that it wasn’t all Christina Aguilera and the Moulin Rouge. We hit the town and used our new ‘standing at the bar’ pose to get bought drinks all night long! – Jane R, Cardiff
