My name is Bella Diamond, and I am the Boss Lady here at Burlesque Chair Dance. I opened our very first class in May 2008 in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and I was amazed by how instantly popular classes were – ladies of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities flocked to class every week and not only improved their fitness, but they also glowed with confidence and newfound self-esteem.

​

I have studied dance & fitness my whole life, I was 2 years old when I attended my first ballet class and since then, dance & fitness has been a huge part of my daily life.

​

The saying ‘what you do, does not define you’ does not extend to dancers!

I have a strong background in all forms of dance; ballet, modern, pole dancing, ballroom, line dancing…… but nothing compares to the sheer joy of burlesque.

​

I train every Instructor personally and choreograph each routine you will learn during classes and masterclasses. I am also a performer and regularly tour with Fire, Ostrich Feather Fan and Big Boa Stage Acts.

​

There’s something for everyone at Burlesque Chair Dance; Shows, Events, Performing, FLEX IT (splits training), BURN CLUB (group weight loss & weights training) and Fire Eating Workshops. But at its core; friendship, confidence, and good old fashioned fun & dance!

​

I moved to Blackpool in 2022 and formed the Blackpool Super Betty’s & Freckleton Foxes, a group of ladies so fiercely supportive of one another and myself, that it has made bringing BCD to Lancashire one of the biggest enjoyments of my career.

​

In April 2024 we attended the LBA Coastal Radio Awards at Blackpool Tower Ballroom, and we won Best in Health, Fitness & Wellness 2024. Accepting this award (sharing the same stage as Strictly), was simply the cherry on top! HQ is based here in Blackpool; our shows are hosted at the prestigious Viva on the prom and Lancashire is the heart of Burlesque Chair Dance.

​

We are a beautiful mix of ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities. You will be made welcome; you will make new friends and you will achieve your fitness goals. So, don’t be shy, come give us a try?
