Who are the Hot Pink Feathers? They are a World Cabaret Showgirl dance troupe. They perform locally at show such as Tuesday's In the Name of Love: Haiti Benefit & Mardi Gras Extravaganza at the Red Devil Lounge (see previous post), burlesque shows such as Friday's Hubba Hubba Revue: Mardi Gras! at the DNA Lounge, and at their own shows with Blue Bone Express at Cafe Van Kleef in Oakland on the first Saturday of every month. Check them out in action in this video montage!
Led by Carnaval SF 2008 Queen Kellita, the Hot Pink Feathers were named Best Dance Company by the San Francisco Bay Guardian in their "Best of the Bay 2008" issue. They've appeared on NBC's America's Got Talent, been featured in Margaret Cho's Sensuous Woman variety shows, and performed at the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend in Las Vegas, as well as many, many stages in the Bay Area and across the country.
And, yes, this is a special time of the year for HPF. Not only is it Mardi Gras, but they'll also be preparing for the big Carnaval SF 2010 Grand Parade! If you look below, you'll see that they have a special Carnaval prep package, complete with payment plans and a raffle to help defray the costs of participating. Watch the video to see the Hot Pink Feathers in a past Carnaval SF Grand Parade!
You could be dancing down Mission Street as part of the Hot Pink Feathers! All of the class and Carnaval prep information is below. Kellita has just returned from a short sabbatical to Rio and Buenos Aires and I'm sure she's just bursting in anticipation of sharing all of the things she learned with you!
All classes will take place at The Ballet Studio in San Francisco. All of the class and Carnaval prep information is below. If you have any questions, please contact the Kellita and the Hot Pink Feathers at hotpinkfeathers@gmail.com or by calling 415-398-7673. You may also find more information about HPF at www.hotpinkfeathers.com.
Don't delay! Shake a tail feather! ;-)
Feather Fans!
I am just returned from intensive dance study in both Buenos Aires and Rio (where I got to see several samba schools process in the the sambadrome!!!) and am thrilled to get into the studio with YOU or someone you know would love to dance with us and share what I've just received!
