❤️‍🔥Perform in Our 2027
Valentine’s Cabaret Show!❤️‍🔥

Showcases by Brass Butterflies are a celebration of our students' accomplishments and our studio community. As a student, there are a couple of different ways that you can perform in a showcase. You can participate in an instructed troupe (a series of classes where you learn group choreography, instructed by a Brass Butterflies instructor), or you can apply to perform a DIY (Do It Yourself / Self-choreographed) act.

Our next annual Valentines Cabaret Show, co-hosted with Sassy Ray Burlesque, will be held at Maxwell’s Concerts and Events, Waterloo, on Saturday, February 13, 2027. This show will feature pole dancing, burlesque, chair dancing, heels dancing, drag, comedy, singing, and more! Will you be part of the magic?
