Betty VIP Opening Ceremonies D’Light
How would you describe your signature style? My day wear is a mix of pin-up and rockabilly style and I'm a huge fan of head scarves, hair f lowers and leopard print. My day look tends to be fairly casual with jeans, Converse trainers and a little cardigan, but I absolutely love to glam it up in the evenings! I love sexy pencil skir ts and dresses and will absolutely always wear a heel in the evening – the higher the better! My performance style tends to be a bit more eclectic: my costumes range from fetish to Hollywood glamour and everything in between! I love the theatrical side of performing and being able to completely transform yourself into pretty much anything or anyone you like.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? For as long as I can remember, my passion has been performance. As a child I was always putting on shows and forcing people to watch – I even did little performances for the ladies who
Betty is the World Burlesque Games 2012 Assistant Event Coordinator, Co-Producer of the Hootchy Kootchy
Roadshow and a resident member of the Headline Honeys Burlesque Show.
Classically trained in theatre and dance, she performs a range of themed acts
ranging from fetish to fan dance, many of which are performed in a classical style en pointe. Funny, sexy, silly and seductive Betty weaves dance and clowning
together like nobody else. Her look oozes sensuality with glittering performance skills, knock out bombshell moves, and a dash of bump n’ grind combined with effortless seduction and exuberant stage presence. Betty D’Light encapsulates everything that is wonderful about burlesque.

Any excuse for a boogie!
