Who is Bella Blue?

Hi there. I am Bella Blue.
I have been dancing for as long as I can remember. I got put into dance classes like any other average 3 year old and can remember crying my eyes out for my entire first class. Those tears turned to joy as a weekly dance class quickly turned into my life long passion and I have been moving my body ever since. I began to take dance classes every night of the week. I attended The New Orleans Center for Creative Arts and upon graduation, decided to enter into the workforce but, I always had my sites set on becoming a dancer. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina, I joined a burlesque troupe on a whim. One year after that, I set foot on the stage of the fanciest Bourbon Street strip club on my first day as a stripper. Those two decisions changed my life for the better in ways that I could never have imagined. I have had the privilege of touring all over the United States and Europe teaching movement and headlining burlesque festivals, events, and showcases. When I am not on a burlesque stage, you can catch me on stage at the strip club. I love being a club dancer as much as I love performing burlesque. I also teach pole dance and coach strength, flexibility, and floorwork. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, I decided to attend college and in 2023, I obtained my Associate of Arts Degree in American Sign Language Interpreting. I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s in Deaf Studies from Gallaudet University and eventually hope to advocate for more accessibility within the world of burlesque, stripping, and pole dancing.

Consider this website as a peek inside. Thank you for being here and I hope to entertain you soon.

Thank you,
Bella
