Spotlight On: Giza Sangria

[Simply Burlesque]

Name: Giza Sangria

Age: 28

Location: Minneapolis, MN

My act consists of: I have a few acts but my favorite and most recent is a duet I do with my friend Lil’ Lush Fuchsia. I play the nervous yet charming Matadora and she plays my naughty bull who strips off my clothes as she charges by.

I got my start in burlesque: I belly danced with burlesque troupes on and off for years before finally giving burlesque a try. It was always something I had wanted to do, it just hadn’t worked out for various reasons. When I finally got a chance to try it I was hooked!

The special skills and/or gimmicks I bring to the stage are: Unique dance skills, a huge smile and a lot of hard work on my costumes.

My dream act is: Oh, perhaps a costume I can’t afford at this moment in time, a rowdy and happy audience, a nice big stage and live music backing me.
