About
Hannah Raven is a dancer for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Ostrich feather fans, tassel twirling and a good deal of comedy vaudeville. Hannah Raven has spent over a decade in burlesque and built her act around the classic fan dance, which is harder to do well than it looks and lands beautifully when it is. She brings her own props and set, and can perform up to three acts across a night if you want the show spread out rather than dropped in one go. All the venue needs to supply is a sound system to play music through. She carries her own public liability insurance. Sydney based, and equally at home at a corporate function or a private party.
The show
Ostrich feather fans first, because that's the signature and Hannah Raven has spent years making it look effortless. Then tassel twirling. Then the comedy, which is where the vaudeville side comes in and where a crowd that arrived unsure usually stops being unsure. It's classic burlesque done properly rather than played for shock. And it's built to be watched by a whole room at once, not just the front table.
On the day
One thing only. The venue needs a sound system that can play music over speakers, since her music runs through the room while she performs. Everything else, props and set included, arrives with her. Worth confirming with your venue early that their system is available on the night and that someone can press play, because that's the single point where a booking like this comes unstuck.
