Lady Magnolia

As Headmistress of The Rouge Revue Burlesque Company, Lady Magnolia wrangles nearly 90 wild-hearted starlets in her Woodstock studio — part dance school, part glitter-filled coven.

She’s also the producer of  The Grand Exhibition, a burlesque benefit that’s raised over R250,000 for Rape Crisis over the past decade. Because when Lady Magnolia mixes mischief with meaning, magic happens.

When she’s not commanding the stage or schooling the sisterhood, you might find her splashing in rock pools, champagne in hand, whispering sweet nothings to the moon — and maybe flashing a bit of thigh at the tide.

She brings together three of her great loves: the sinuous art of belly dance, the drama of burlesque, and music so sensual it practically undresses you on its own.
