LeRoux

VINTAGE SHOWGIRL

ABOUT

​I was born into a San Francisco showbiz family, growing up in wings and backstages and raised a diet of showtunes and greasepaint.

​

I honed my craft in New York City, taught by golden age broadway veterans and made my professional debut in A Chorus Line. The first of many companies (I've lost count) including the European touring company.​​​

Classic Burlesque | Big Band Vocalist | PinUp Model | Theater Nerd

My gateway drug to Burlesque was middle eastern/cabaret bellydance, beginning classes and joining a dance troupe when I was only 10 years old. That combined with my love of all things Broadway, Ziegfeld, Busby Berkley and old Hollywood created a perfect breeding ground for a future showgirl.

 

But like many, I fell into Burlesque almost accidentally when I was asked to perform for a Broadway Cares fundraiser. My decision to do a burlesque number was directly inspired by a story told by one of the Chorus Line characters about a stripper. I threw together my version of an old timey burlesque number and I was hooked.

I am also a consensual victim of the 90's swing/Lindy hop revival and so, also found a home in the NYC Swing Dance scene. Through that community I continued to do burlesque, began pinup and vintage clothing modeling, joined The Blue Saracens Big Band as lead vocalist, all while continuing my career in musical theater.​ My passion for vintage Americana* fashion, history and the preservation of song & dance from bygone eras lights the way.

*In this day and age it's important to note that while many of us in the vintage community adore the esthetics  and entertainment born out of a bygone era, we do not believe in the problematic values of  the time periods attached to them. Love all, accept all.
