Burlesque Presentations by Bella Sin
As an educator, Bella Sin's area of focus is Burlesque History, with a particular emphasis on the legends of color in the burlesque industry. They have conducted extensive research on the history of burlesque in their city and beyond, including the world of burlesque outside of the United States. Bella's presentations on this topic have been well-received by colleagues and researchers internationally.
Sin offers a diverse range of educational talks, including "Latin Burlesque Pioneers," "Decolonizing Burlesque," and "The History of Burlesque in Cleveland, Ohio." Their primary focus is to provide education and resources to the community, encouraging them to become their own historical researchers and keep the legends of burlesque alive through stories of their performances. Sin is fluent in both English and Spanish and offers educational content on their YouTube channel.Presentations available on demand and virtually in real time.

The Salsita Side of Things — Patreon by Anita Salsita
This $5/month tier is the best way to stay in the loop with everything happening behind the scenes at Vivalesque. Through my personal Patreon, I share early access to show announcements, ticket links, casting calls, and exactly what I look for in performer submissions—plus what usually doesn’t get picked and why. You'll also get a first look at upcoming show plans, help shape merch and theme ideas, and receive exclusive perks like ticket discounts that won’t be posted anywhere else. This space is always evolving, and your support doesn’t just help keep the glitter flowing—it helps Vivalesque grow into the kind of community-rooted, Latina-owned burlesque company I’ve always dreamed of building.
