About
My name is Aella Cascabel
I have always loved to dance, but it has taken me some time to find my “fit”
I’ve tried ballet, Ballroom and Latin, Jazz and Musical theatre, but none of these felt right. It wasn’t until I discovered burlesque in the spring of 2021 that I thought I may be on to something. Despite being well over 60 and no gym bunny, I started a beginner's course (heart in mouth) and I met an amazing group of women. I gained confidence in my abilities and started to celebrate what my body could do, rather than look at what was imperfect about it!
I also started to go to Chair Dance classes on a regular basis and had so much fun that when the instructor left, I agreed to take over and I have been an instructor now for 3 years.
​
In January this year I decided to set up my own classes and Casa las Bellas was born!
We now provide burlesque and chair dance classes, plus workshops and courses. Oh - and the occasional show!! I'm sure that there is something for everyone here at Cas las Bellas.
Burlesque is inclusive. There is a style for everyone. And setting up Casa las Bellas means I can share my passion for dance and burlesque; have fun and encourage women to try something new and grow in confidence.
I will always celebrate finding something that gives me such joy and want to share that with others.
