Today’s guest is one of RVA’s most known burlesque dancers: Scarlet Starlet. The “twirling temptress” always aims to entertain. Whether she’s twirling tassels, hoops, baton, or fire, the audience is sure to be teased and pleased. Scarlet enjoys performing a vast array of acts from silly to sexy to powerful. She has been seen at festivals across the country and has won a range of awards including Best Act, Most Classic, Most Wicked, and Best Variety Act. She is a burlesque and hoop instructor at RVA Swing, the producer of Burlesque Right Meow, and co-creator of the RVA Burlesque Festival.

In this interview you'll get a first hand look into the burlesque scene in RVA and learn some surprising obstacles that burlesque dancers have to overcome to perform at venues, interesting history of the art of the strip tease, wardrobe malfunctions, Scarlet's background, and much more. You can see a "teaser video" 😉 of one of her acts on our instagram video. She literally looks like the red dress dancing lady emoji. 💃
