About Lolita
Classically trained as a modern, tap, and ballet dancer for fifteen years, Lolita decided to trade in her pointe shoes for pasties and hit the road! Originally from California by way of Seattle, Lolita now calls Berlin home.
Lolita has been seen on stages across the world, including Helsinki, Malta, Tallinn, New York, and Los Angeles. She has been featured at the Bristol Burlesque Festival, Stockholm Burlesque Festival, and Prague Burlesque Festival, and is a regular performer at Olivia Jones’ Bunny Burlesque in Hamburg, Germany.
She is the first burlesque dancer to perform with the Jewish Chamber Orchestra at the historic NDR Rolf-Liebermann-Studios, and the first burlesque artist to dance in the MARKK Museum. She has also been a guest artist with Taylor Mac’s 24 Decade History of Popular Music, pop star Chappell Roan, the Schwules Museum Berlin, and the Semperoper Dresden.
Lolita is the producer of Jews! Jews! Jews!, A minori-tease Cabaret, the only queer Jewish-centric cabaret of its kind in Europe, which has been awarded multiple grants and toured throughout the continent, as well as (st)Rip it Off, a night of queer neo-burlesque. Lolita is the owner and operator of the Shimmy Shake School for Burlesque in Berlin, fostering a new generation of diverse burlesque performers.
Lolita has been the recipient of funding from the Stiftung Zurückgeben, Berliner Kulturprojekte, Berlin Clubcommission’s Tag der Clubkultur, and the Sentatsverwaltung für Kultur und Gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt.
Lolita draws from her 15+ years of professional dance training for high energy, dance based burlesque performances with a creative flair. Let Lolita entice, excite, and thrill you!
