So haere mai, tēnā koe e hoa (greetings, hello friend) welcome to SparkleForce Academy of Burlesque

As someone who struggled with body image issues for years, I was really hesitant to try burlesque. But, from the moment I stepped into Sparkleforce Academy of Burlesque, I felt welcomed and accepted.
