August 6, 2025Amazing Experience do not pass up
Annie, made our space feel safe and comfortable. We learned, we laughed, and we danced. The girls at the bachelorette party said "it's a core memory they will never forget". Truly so fun and will tell others to invite Red Hot Annie to their event.

August 27, 2019Everything Was Perfect
We were a little apprehensive at first, but quickly realized that every aspect of the event — dancing, music, costumes, and beautiful performers — was even better than promised by Annie. We can’ wait to do it again.

April 14, 2018Burlesque dancers for bachelor party
We hired Red Hot Annie and two other dancers for a bachelor party for our friend last month. Everything was outstanding and professional and fun. On fairly short notice, I asked for a special song to be played for the groom and they graciously agreed to do it and do it well. The groom has repeatedly thanked me for this, but thanks should go to Red Hot Annie and her dancers. The highlight of the night.
