Fanny Forte

A burlesque dancer with the Sirens & Stilettos Cabaret since 2013, Fanny Forte is always ready to get dressed up... and even more ready to get undressed!

Fanny has a love for obscure fashions and costuming.  You can catch her in bunch of different styles- lolita, pin-up, retro, even a bit of goth and rave wear. With her love of all types of costuming and cosplaying she frequents events that call for such attire. So you are likely to find her at local conventions, renaissance faires and just about any theme party.

Fanny got her first taste of performing in her underwear with Rocky Horror Picture Show where she got the chance to play Magenta with Rochester's shadowcast Ancient Spirits of Evil.  They also gave her an opportunity to try drag by allowing her to play Brad.  She was with them for a few years before finding her burlesque calling.

That time came when the Sirens & Stilettos Cabaret were having auditions.  Fanny really didn't know much about dancing so she tried out to be their first ever stage kitten and they decided to keep her!  They encouraged her to perform, first in group numbers and duets then ever so slightly more towards her own solos.  That's how her signature Balloon Dance was born!

She's what you might call a twirler. She twirls tassels and assels and boy can she get them going.  She often works them into her routines be it balloon popping or nerdlesque.  So if you wanna see what that's all about there's no better way than to catch her at a show.  When you do you'll find out exactly why she says "My Fanny Is My Forte!"
