Red Snapper Burlesque

Red Snapper entered the world of exotic dancing through pole dancing. While taking a session of burlesque choreography for pole through Aphrodite Strip-N-Pole, she discovered an innate talent for striptease. Thirsty for knowledge on the subject study, she studied burlesque with several incredible performers: Lux LaCroix (Bump & Grind School - Los Angeles), Miss Indigo Blue & The Shanghai Pearl (Academy of Burlesque - Seattle), Jo Boobs (New York School of Burlesque - New York), Jewel of Denial (Striptease Symposium - Los Angeles), Lili VonSchtupp, Penny Starr, Jr. (Striptease Symposium - Los Angeles), Princess Farhana, Vanity Flair, Scarlett Letter (Little Red Schoolhouse of Burlesque - Ventura), Tigger!, as well as burlesque legends Wild Cherry, April March and Tee Tee Red. Red is an advocate of continuing education and is always enrolled in a dance class. Red Snapper has been performing since she was five. She's been seen in commercials, television and film. As an actress, she's been called "robust and sassy" by L.A. Weekly. The L.A. Times wrote that she "parlay[ed] experience in both theater and burlesque choreography into a thoroughly convincing portrait of hardhearted survival" in her performance in Andrew Moore's Pin-Up Girls. She's also an experienced stage director whose work has been positively recognized by L.A. Weekly and Backstage West. Red Snapper regularly performs throughout Southern California, and has performed in Las Vegas, Austin, Boston, Dallas, San Antonio, Denver, New Orleans and Albuquerque. Known as "The Go All the Way Girl," she never fails to charm. Red's repertoire varies from classic 1940's elegance to rock & roll, tongue-in-cheek, naughty good girl. Sometimes she shares the stage with puppets or large, silly props built by Mr. Snapper. She's taught men and women the art of pole dancing, lap dancing and burlesque. She currently teaches burlesque independently. Red Snapper spends her free time brainstorming new projects at home with Mr. Snapper, his dog Buster and her Doodlebug.
"Red Snapper is a pleasure to work with. As a producer, she is constantly knocking it out of the park for me, she's reliable, professional and entertaining! A triple threat for a burlesque performer. Her acts are true burlesque, from a traditional fan dance to her absurd tongue-in-cheek parody numbers, audiences love her! " Lili VonSchtupp Producer, Monday Night Tease! LA's Longest Running Weekly Burlesque Show lili@MondayNightTease.com http://MondayNightTease.com "Red Snapper is sassy and sexy, kicky and classy...both onstage and off-stage!" Princess Farhana "Red Snapper is a producers' dream come true. Extremely pleasant, easy to work with, and strives to make the experience great for everyone involved. My audiences/crew/fellow performers love her, and always beg me to bring her down again. From the performance angle - she brings her A game everytime, asks for feedback and truly wants it. I look forward to working with Snapper as much as possible in the coming years. TEXAS loves Red Snapper!" Vivienne Vermouth Producer, Broads & Panties (DFW) and Dr. Sketchy's Denton "Red Snapper is one of the hardest working women in burlesque. I consider her a real inspiration and a true friend. She is in such demand not simply because of the beauty, grace, and style she possesses, but her professionalism both on stage and behind the scenes as well. She is part of a very small cache of performers I try to emulate. She has taught me the value of promptness, professionalism, enthusiasm and excitement on stage, helping fellow performers, and looking fabulous at all times! Long live Red Snapper!" Panama Red Los Angeles Burlesque Performer "It is my pleasure to recommend Red Snapper to be part of any show, yes any, because she can handle any show you throw at her. She is a great actor, dancer, stripteaser, and a great human being. With her personal repertoire of fun and smart burlesque acts she is one of those girls who help keep the bar up high in Los Angeles. Crystal Swarovski Burlesque Producer, Los Angeles "Red Snapper is the best kind of teacher: someone who really knows her stuff AND is always engaging. From one all-too-short class, I now have a much better understanding of what it means to perform this art than I ever could have imagined. ... Her grasp of choreography, the relationship between performer and costume, and the implications and meanings of every move were all made clearer to me than ever before. I now believe I'm not just a better student of this art but a better entertainer thanks to her guidance. I was lucky to be her student. Thank you Mrs. Snapper!" Lee T. Killer Los Angeles Boylesque Performer I would love everyone to know that due to Red Snapper's classes, I now have more confidence and ambition. I realized that I need to take more dance classes, and that I can twirl (at least for a bit!) while in a backbend. Everyone in my troupe who attended the classes returned to the group as better performers. I would recommend Red Snapper's classes to anyone interested in burlesque and other stage performance, and to anyone who needs to spark their self-confidence. Ro Manic Diamond Dames Little Rock, AR "I think Red Snapper is awesome sauce. She's a wonderful teacher, very knowledgeable and caring. She knows so much and is very willing to teach it. She's always managed to make me feel comfortable even when I'm stressing about my imperfections, that I forget about them. She's someone I admire so much and such a wonderful person! I hope I get more opportunities to learn from her in the near future! Tally Ho Los Angeles Burlesque Performer "The classes helped validate what I was doing well and helped me to pinpoint areas I needed to be focusing on. Since taking the classes, I now approach new routines with more experienced eyes and have been able to add new life to existing numbers I've performed. It's like getting a tune-up on your burlesque brain!" Heaven Lee Diamond Dames Little Rock, AR Being these were my 1st classes I was so happy to meet Red Snapper and take her classes, I loved every minute of each class, I was really shy at first but after taking her advice I've learned to have a lil more fun with it and have been able to show off to some friends my new hand made Mickey pasties as well as the techniques I learned in your class, I had so much fun and cant wait to get some fans and take those classes as well.
