Bombshell Betty is a burlesque obsessed entrepreneur and innovator based in the San Francisco Bay Area. She leapt headlong into the burlesque life in 2000 when she founded her own go-go/burlesque troupe, touring regularly across the US, Canada and Europe. Some performance highlights include headlining at the House of Blues at the Mandalay Bay Casino Resort in Las Vegas, touring across Europe for “The Russ Meyer Night” with the ladies from “Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!”, performing and teaching at Teaseorama (the world's first and biggest burlesque convention), performing at the pre-party for the SF
MOMA CX "Modern Ball", opening for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC, and performing at various festivals across Europe.
In March, 2004, Betty started teaching the incredibly popular Burlesquercise!®
dance classes, and also teaches private classes, Pinup Modeling Workshops, Costuming Workshops, and
promotes special workshops for guest instructors, including Cancan, Musical Theater, Striptease, and more! Many performers in the San Francisco burlesque
scene and also the international scne got their start through Bombshell
Betty’s classes, and
established performers also take the classes to learn new moves and
polish up their stage presentation.
