MEET THE TEAM
Ivy Rose
Founder & Teacher
Ivy is an energetic teacher who loves to be a mix of silly and light-hearted to set the tone for people to come as they are. Providing movement, performance and choreography techniques throughout her classes, she encourages people to follow their innate intuition.
Ivy founded Everglowing in 2022 with the purpose of bringing people together to learn, explore and perform Traditional and Neo-Burlesque in Bristol. After co-running cabarets in Exeter under ‘The Dead Dolls’ in 2017 – 2019, she wanted to bring her knowledge and passion as a Burlesque choreographer and performer to teach others the powerful artform.
"I'm passionate about guiding people to feel their authentic selves in a non-competitive environment. Everglowing is all about creating a supportive community where people could feel safe to express being sexual and sensual to empower them inside and out of the classroom."

Saffire trained in modern and ballet from a young age, going on to expand her movement repertoire exploring circus arts, performing and choreography. While studying Physiotherapy at university, she discovered burlesque with Everglowing, and began teaching in May 2023.
As performer Saffire Lily, she has a love for traditional pin-up and showgirl burlesque, bringing cheeky and flirty characters to the stage. She loves exploring a wide variety of burlesque styles when teaching and enjoys exploring the art of tease, stage presence, and musicality in classes. She also has a passion for Bob Fosse jazz, exploring unusual shapes and testing the creative vocabulary of movement.
"Burlesque has been transformative, helping me explore my own definitions of sensuality and femininity, build confidence and develop a deeper trust in herself. I feel privileged to be part of the Everglowing community to create a space where others can express themselves freely and discover their own unique confidence and sensuality."

Charlie Harlequin
Teacher & Administrator
Charlie started dance when she was three years old, and has been attending a wide variety of classes ever since. With a background that includes ballet, commercial, musical theatre and pole dancing, as well as experience teaching and choreographing, burlesque was the next obvious choice. After trying a taster at university and starting classes in Leeds, they joined Everglowing as a student in October 2024 and became a teacher at the beginning of 2026.
When performing as Charlie Harlequin, they love to combine elements of classical burlesque with some good, old-fashioned gender-bending camp, and just a dash of jazz. Charlie’s classes certainly feature elements of jazzy musical theatre, but she also loves combining neo-burlesque with commercial dance movement, whilst giving it a lot of ✨sass✨.
"Getting to teach at Everglowing means getting to give back to the community that has been transformative on my burlesque journey."

A lover of all things slow, slinky and sultry, Scarlett is passionate about raw, erotic expression and exploring the deliciously filthy side of burlesque.
With 5 years across pole, dance and burlesque, alongside working as a full-time stripper and performer, she brings a focus on magnetic energy, character and truly embodying your performance. She’s been part of Everglowing since day one, and now joins the team as a teacher at the end of 2026.
"I love burlesque for its rich , complex and fascinating history for centuries courtesans , burlesque dancers and sex workers have existed within the same circles and often these roles over lapped. !omen having autonomy over their bodies has always been a point of controversy, and I love how burlesque, ses workers and alike always have and continue to challenge the status quo."

With a background in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, specialising in choreography, Miss Emilienne has come into her own in the burlesque scene as a performer and now as a teacher. She's the slow and sultry queen who loves to take more of a classical direction (with some neo thrown in there for added spice!)
Her passions lie in dominating choreography that oozes femininity and pure tease. If you're a fan of slinky floorwork, old style glamour and silhouettes from our vintage burlesque mothers, then she is the teacher for you.
"Burlesque has been a huge turning point for me, and has taught me how to love, cherish and appreciate all my body does for me. It can be hard to love your body every single day but burlesque can be a great step in learning how to try. We should be taking up more space! And it would be a life goal to help others identify and indulge in their own sensuality."
