Miss Jezebel Express is a burlesque teacher, performer and pinup who has recently relocated to New York City. Miss Jezebel holds a BA in Dance Choreography from the University of Iowa, and has been awarded State of Iowa, University of Iowa, and Department of Dance grants for her artistic work. She served as artistic director of Iowa City's Amalgam Dance Company from 2001-2003, creating works of dancetheatre, performance cabaret, and modern dance.
After moving to Newfoundland in 2003 on a US Fulbright Grant, Miss Jezebel began bumping and grinding in NDW Evenings of Burlesque while teaching hip-hop, ballet, jazz and modern dance. After several of her students saw her perform burlesque and requested tutelage in "how to do that", Miss Jezebel formed the Purity Girls School of Burlesque, a six-week crash course in theatre, dance and body confidence that turned out some of the sexiest stripteuses ever to hit The Rock. In 2006, Miss Jezebel began producing student burlesque showcases at a variety of venues around town. Miss Jezebel is pleased to have instructed more than 100 island girls in the art of the bump and grind, and is proud to announce that The Purity Girls will continue to produce monthly burlesque shows in her absence.
In June of 2007, Miss Jezebel Express was chosen as one of twelve Best Debut contestants to compete in the Miss Exotic World pageant. As she was already planning a move to New York, she packed up her bags early and performed at Exotic World while she was between residences! Since moving to New York, Miss Jezebel has been fortunate enough to work with some of the best names in the biz. She is honored to have been presented in The “World Famous *BoB* Presents” series, in which *BoB* features one performer she sees as an up-and-coming New York burlesque starlet! Currently, Jezebel hosts Ixion Burlesque’s “Down & Dirty Lounge” as a singing, stripping, wisecracking dame, and performs regularly at The Slipper Room and other downtown venues.
