Acts
All of Céleste’s acts can be performed to classic burlesque songs, as well as set to live music, as she is experienced in both realms. She absolutely loves creating unique versions of her acts to perfectly suit any event.
Stardust
AWARD-WINNING CLASSIC SHOWGIRL ACT
This act was first brought to life when Céleste was a student at the Detroit School of Burlesque in 2017 & showcases her classic ballet training & emotional range as a performer. At the 2018 Michigan Regional Burlypicks Céleste received First Place as well as Master of Amazement, also earning the title of Most Classic at Nationals. Prior to her debut, she was asked by mentor Miss Holly Hock to perform this piece at Detroit’s historic Cliff Bell’s for a Speakeasy Sunday.
This piece serves as a nod to silent films, 1930s-1940s fashion, & the story of lost love, all set to Artie Shaw’s instrumental version of one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century — Stardust. This act can be performed with a live band as well as to an uptempo recording of this famed song.
