Performances by Kitty Von Quimm, Vera DeVille, Dottie Lux and introducing the RHB debut of Dottie Von Polka and Oleeander Mooon!

Oleeander Moon (aka Jodi Waseca) has been fascinated with hobos and gypsies since the age of 3, when she picked up the art of dance and hasn't put it down since. Now as a bonafide adult, her fascination still lingers, and her love of dance has manifested into many forms including, but not limited to, Contemporary Fusion and Traditional Cabaret belly dance, Modern, Jazz and Hip Hop dance, Burlesque, Fire and Theatrical Performance...and generally a fusion of all of these. Jodi is the 2010 Breakthrough Fusion Dance Solo Artist, SF. She is also a good eater and likes cats and stripes.

Traveling across the country from the steamy streets of New Orleans, Miss Dottie von Polka's unique brand of Real SurReal Burlesque is sure to have the well seasoned Burlesque aficionado seeing spots. Dottie popped her Burly-Q cherry with Big City Burlesque out of Atlanta and is currently a free agent in the New Orleans Burlesque scene; most recently speckling the stage with the Storyville Starlettes. Miss Dottie Von Polka is available for Party's, Weddings, Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties while on the West Coast but catch her quick...she's back to the Southeast Sep 26th. You never know were you'll spot her next! http://www.DottieVonPolka.com
