"I joined Burlesque and Dance at a stage in my life when I realised I was doing nothing but going to work and coming home; the occasional night out.
After seeing a post on Facebook advertising the Gravesend Goddesses group, I joined, along with a friend in September 2023.
I have never looked back. It was something so far out of my comfort zone that I didn't think I would make it past a couple of weeks, but I am now preparing for my first show in November 2025. Its is one of the best things I have done in a long time" - Kirsty; Gravesend Goddesses
"I absolutely love being in Michelle's class. Doing Burlesque has not only helped me embrace my passion and love of dance, I get to share it with fun and friendly peeps who are supportive and a joy to spend time with.
Doing Burlesque has helped me be less body conscious and actually like my body; be confident to show it off a bit and even have fun with dressing upend feel confident to perform with other group members.
Michelle or any class members never cause me to feel embarrassed or criticised for forgetting moves or turning the wrong way as with dyspraxia that can often happen, I enjoy it and have fun with it.
This actually helps me feel less pressured and stressed, which means I have a better chance of remembering the moves and can relax.
I feel I have been able to re-connect with an old hobby, and am loving every moment" Anon- Chatham/ Rochester class
"I have been coming to dance classes for nearly three years, when I first walked in as a bag of nerves not knowing what to expect and would this class be for me.
Through my time; I have gone from strength to strength, learning new skills and dance moves has helped my confidence grow, pushing myself to go that next step further.
From the shy person not feeling confident to dress up, to now having conversations about what to wear on our final routine weeks.
Pushing myself and having the guidance and encouragement from Shelly, I participated in a live show, completely out of my comfort zone!!
I have met wonderful people through my journey and pleased to call them my friends, class has helped me develop in more ways than I could have imagined.
Shelly has been a great teacher x" Anon - Chatham/ Rochester class
"I didn't know what to expect when I joined Burlesque and Dance; I had tried other dance and fitness groups and found them cliquey or just lacking that special something which would keep me coming back.
This group was immediately warm and addictive, there is something special about Charlotte and the way she makes everyone find and embrace that goddess within.
We have so much fun!!!
The routines are excellent and varied, I have been going for nearly 4 years and there's still new and exciting content to learn.
It's boosted my self confidence, and encouraged me to celebrate my 40- something year old body!! xxx" - Kym; Gravesend Goddesses
"I joined the group two years ago as I needed to go out and do something for me, and make friends.
Working remotely a lot makes it really difficult to make lasting friendships, and I am so glad I found my people!!
Shell is a fabulous teacher, she is passionate about her troupe and I especially like her realness. She treats us as individuals but brings us together when we perform.
I have so many props and outfits now, I have a wardrobe just for Burlesque!! I love my Wednesdays so much that I moved an entire national ops team meeting so I can get to class! x" Anon- Chatham/ Rochester class
