Brainchild of her half Australian, half German inventor who, informed by a bachelor degree in Dance and Theatre had Bella touring the English scene of underground speakeasys, cabaret nights and weddings before you can say, “poppin’ pasties!”. Inspired by the burlesque queens of yesteryear, she specialises in old world glamour and a healthy dose of bump and grind.
