How can a girl be sexy and powerful in this sensory-overloaded world, without giving it all away? Good question!

Well, there's a lot to be said about walking confidently and powerfully, and using the old Burlesque wink, shoulder shrug, and toss of the mane when the situation requires something…”extra.”

Or, how about grabbing hold of a 10-foot piece of steel, whipping around it like Super Woman, and daring a certain someone to do the same?

How different would your life be if you had these skills and experiences to draw on?

Double Trouble Entertainers is committed to teaching a style of dance, "The Art of Being Sexy without Taking Your Clothes Off"— on both the ground and in the air. This is dance that is “evocative”, not provocative, dance that brings forth all of your unique charms and empowers you in a fun, wholesome, and sophisticated way.

Shara Switala and Virginia Simpson-Magruder have combined their talents as teachers and performers to bring you Double Trouble Entertainers. We offer classes, workshops, home parties, and performances that will heat up your nights and make your special events unforgettable. Shara Switala comes from a traditionally trained background of dance and performing arts, has toured the United States and the Middle East, and has been teaching in the Bay Area for over 25 years. She is currently teaching Theatrical Burlesque and Belly Dance at Stage Dor in Sausalito. Virginia Simpson-Magruder has danced and performed with the Bay Area’s Don’t Quit Your Day Job Dancers for the past 18 years, She has been teaching Pole Dance under the name Pole Dance Magic for the past 3 years at Stage Dor, and Stars Ballroom, in Novato. 

Our signature workshop is a classic introduction to the world of Theatrical Burlesque and Pole Dance Magic. Here’s your chance to learn classic showgirl walks, struts, and poses, with a little of Shara's "Showgirlz Sparkle" added for shine. By the end of the first hour you'll have learned a flirtatious yet sophisticated routine using boas, gloves or chairs!

In the second hour Virginia weaves an hour of Pole Dance Magic! She'll show you how you can make that “Pole Dance Mystique” your very own, through fun, simple moves around the pole, an easy spin, and transitions to floor and back up again.
