Chica Boom-Boom

Prepare to feel the heat! She’s gonna make you sweat! She’s gonna set fire to the room – it’s Chica Boom-Boom!
Dancing since the age of six, it’s been a constant in her life. Music, dance, theatre, she’s never been far from the stage lights. Chica’s previous dance history includes commercial jazz, funk, tap, contemporary, hip-hop and pole dancing.
When she stumbled upon burlesque, she fell deep and hard in love with the glitz, glamour and of course, the rhinestones!
This gorgeous Latina came runner-up in last year’s The Apprentease Victoria competition, 3rd place in last year’s AAPC Burlesque Beauty Amateur division and also sells her own line of beautiful burlesque pasties, Boom-Boom Pasties.

With an extraordinary voice and a distinctive style of prose poetry, they weave together song and storytelling, delivered from the heart.
