Overview

Poppy la Fae sprouted forth from seeds planted by past lives on stage and informed by an education in queer theory. Whether campy or classic, they’re out to prove femme doesn’t mean frail. This neurodivergent, nonbinary, bipolar bisexual has been leaving audiences breathless and begging for more since 2017.

A Richmond native, Poppy draws inspiration from the rich art community in the city. An educator at heart, they live to learn and offer fan dance classes as available. Poppy also serves on the ARAO committee with Burlycon. This faerie doesn’t want to steal your name, they want to steal your heart.

Poppy La Fae - Superb Performance.. She’s the One

Poppyla’Fae delivered an absolutely captivating performance that felt equal parts exotic, playful, and bold. From the moment she stepped in, she didn’t just perform she connected
Her burlesque style was vibrant and theatrical, and she made sure the audience felt involved in every beat of the show. The energy in the room was electric, and by the time the performance hit its peak, it truly felt like the whole space was set on fire in the best way. 🔥

Professional, Dazzling & Inspired Performances

My entertainment company has had the pleasure of working with Poppy as a fan dancer on a number of occasions. They are our go to person for all things fan dance but also have very solid skills in character acting, choreography building & burlesque which have been a joy to all audiences we have booked them for. Poppy will work hard for you to provide a memorable experience for your event and will ultimately deliver a performance that will be truly memorable for yourself & your guests.
