Hull Honeys Celebrating 5 Years Of Fun, Feathers And Fabulousness…

Welcome to the wonderful world of Hull Honeys, where fun, feathers, and fabulousness reign supreme. As we celebrate our 5th anniversary, it's a time to reflect on the journey we've taken, the challenges we've overcome, and the incredible talent that fills our class. From the glitz and glamour of the BurlesqueWithParis Burlesque Ball Show to the dedication and growth of our Heavenly Honeys, there's so much to celebrate and be proud of.

The Birth Of Hull Honeys…

Embarking on a journey of glitz, glamour, and empowerment, Hull Honeys first welcomed its members into a world where self-expression and confidence take centre stage. This ensemble of vibrant and spirited women came together with a shared passion for the art of burlesque, marking the inception of something truly remarkable. In the heart of Hull, a sanctuary was created where laughter echoed, friendships blossomed, and every individual was encouraged to embrace their uniqueness. The classes rapidly evolved into much more than a space to learn dance routines, they became a haven for fostering self-love, bravery, and a sense of belonging. As the curtains rose on this new adventure, the bond amongst the participants grew stronger, crafting a supportive network that empowered each Hull Honey to discover and polish their own dazzling persona on and off the stage. This foundation of camaraderie and mutual respect laid the groundwork for the transformative experiences that would follow, turning Hull Honeys into a beacon of inspiration and joy within the community.

Overcoming Adversity…

The sudden halt in March 2020, as the world grappled with the onset of the pandemic, presented a significant challenge for the Hull Honeys. The closure of the class not only paused their dance routines but also their cherished gatherings that had become a source of joy and empowerment. The period that followed was marked by uncertainty and a longing for the camaraderie and the vibrant energy that filled their sessions. Despite these trying times, the spirit of the Hull Honeys remained unbroken. Their resilience became a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to a triumphant return.

In June 2021, after months of anticipation, Hull Honeys reopened its doors, inviting both old and new members to rekindle their passion for burlesque. This reunion was more than just a continuation of classes, it was a testament to their unwavering determination and the strength of their bond. The challenges faced during the lockdown had not diminished their enthusiasm but instead had fuelled their eagerness to dance, celebrate life, and express themselves through the art of burlesque. The reopening marked a significant milestone, symbolising not just a return to normality but also the start of a new chapter filled with promise and the joy of reconnection. Their journey through adversity underscored the importance of community, resilience, and the power of perseverance in the face of challenges, setting the stage for a brighter, more spirited future.

A Night to Remember The Burlesque Ball Show 2021…

The 12th of November 2021 marked a significant milestone for Hull Honeys as we hosted our spectacular Burlesque With Paris Burlesque Ball Show at Drax Sports and Social Club. The evening was nothing short of magical, brimming with elegance, allure, and the palpable excitement of an audience eagerly anticipating the night's performances. The Hull Honeys, adorned in their exquisite costumes, took to the stage with a mesmerising class routine set against the evocative melodies of Pink Panther/007. Their performance was a masterclass in grace, precision, and the sheer joy of burlesque, leaving the audience utterly spellbound.

In a dazzling display of talent and camaraderie, four of our cherished Honeys – Sugarboo, Atomic Storm, Amethyst Moonshine, and Cherry Noir – united for a group performance that further elevated the evening's spectacle. Their expert use of fans in their choreography was nothing short of sublime, capturing the essence of burlesque with every graceful movement and flirtatious glance. These performances underscored the dedication, skill, and passion that define Hull Honeys, and provided unforgettable highlights in an evening packed with high-quality entertainment.
