After several years working as a solo burlesque performer, Jezebel founded the neo-burlesque scene in St. John's, Newfoundland in 2004. After a 2007 move to New York City, she took Gotham by storm (or shimmy, anyway!) Currently, she instructs the genius students at the New York School of Burlesque in the art of the shimmy! Her areas of expertise include choreography, fan dancing, jazz dancing for burlesque, movement for non- trained dancers and body confidence.
Jezebel is producer of vintage fantasy jazz & burlesque party The Champagne Riot in New York City and also co-produces Glitter & Gin, a burlesque-theatre extravaganza with boylesque wonder Go-Go Harder.
Jezebel's New York School of Burlesque "Flirting With Burlesque!" class has been recommended by The New York Times, and she has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning and on popular Brazilian show Amor y Sexo, as well as in the Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, Time Out New York,The New York Daily News, NEXT Magazine, The New York Press, The Washington Examiner, and ThoughtCatalog.
Jezebel currently performs at various venues around New York City, as well as nationally and internationally at festivals and performance events.
She has also been featured in several episodes of award-winning webseries Gin Town, (dir. James Lester) and has starred in the short Cinekink Festival selection Miss Jezebel's Feathers, (dir. Jesse Miksic).
***What was that about Newfoundland?
After moving to Newfoundland in 2003 on a US Fulbright Grant, Miss Jezebel began bumping and grinding in twice-yearly Neighborhood Dance Works "Evening of Burlesque" events while also teaching hip-hop, ballet, jazz and modern dance. After several of her students saw her perform burlesque and requested lessons in "how to do that", Miss Jezebel formed the Purity Girls School of Burlesque, a six-week crash course that turned out some of the sexiest stripteuses ever to hit The Rock. Miss Jezebel instructed more than 100 island girls in the art of the bump and grind during her time in Newfoundland She is thrilled that her former students and many newcomers continue to produce their own burlesque shows in her absence, and that Newfoundland enjoys a thriving burlesque and vaudeville scene to this day!
