Tucker
DANCER
@matteldracher
"TUCKER" was born to be on stage and in front of an audience. Actor, dancer, model, acrobat, singer, and choreographer, both in and out of the LGBTQ+ community. Performing for big names like Ariana Grande, Nick Jonas, Jason Derulo, Madonna, and many more. Wether on stage or on screen, he never let's anyone dull his sparkle. Proud pansexual male, queer, genderbender, fashionable nudist, and natural born stripper. It's no wonder he fits in so well in the burlesque world, with a new found love for the art, he finally feels HOME. Born and raised in Windsor, ON, he is taking on the burlesque world by storm! Performing for High Society Cabaret, PeepshowTO, Troyboy Entertainment, the Toronto Burlesque Festival, Toronto Pride, World Pride, the International Nerdlesque Festival, and many more. He feels truly ELATED to be part of such a wonderful community..."This is where I belong!" -TUCKER

Cara De Melo
DANCER
@misscarademelo
Cara De Melo is an interdimensional burlesque performer borne to the royal reptilian gods. The Lizard Queen enraptures and bewitches her audience with honey-coated striptease, a soul snatching gaze, and unpredictable storytelling through costuming and movement. -
