Private Coaching with Lila Luxx

There are very few people in the burlesque and cabaret world who can look at an act and immediately understand what it's trying to be, and then tell you, with precision and warmth, exactly how to get it there. Lila Luxx is one of them.

 

As the director of The Bombshell Burlesque Academy & Bombshell Burlesque events, a working performer with over 15 years in the industry, and formal qualifications and training in theatre arts, Lila brings a rare combination to her feedback: the eye of a director, the instincts of a seasoned performer, and the language of a teacher who genuinely wants you to succeed. She's seen what separates a good act from an unforgettable one, and she can articulate it.

Whether you're after in person attention, email feedback, or online coaching from anywhere in the world, Lila is ready to guide you to your next performance goal.

EMAIL ACT REVIEW

Not every question needs an hour, and not every schedule allows for one. Lila's Email Act Review brings the same sharp eye and honest feedback to performers anywhere in the world, on your time.

Every review is focused, honest, and specific to your work and your concerns, rather than generic best practice advice. Lila meets you where you are, whether you're still shaping a concept or polishing a competition act.

Accessible worldwide. Responses within 7 business days. Tailored to your requirements in three tiers:

Concept Consult — $55

For acts still being built. Share your concept: the music, the character, the theme, the aesthetic direction, and the specific questions you want answered. Lila will respond with written developmental feedback addressing your questions and helping you shape what you're making into something worth finishing. No video needed.

Act Review — $85

For acts that exist in some form and have a specific problem to solve. Send your video (any stage of development, filmed at home or on stage) via Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar, alongside a written brief that clearly outlines your concerns. Your brief should name what you're worried about, what isn't landing, or what you can't figure out. Lila's response will be focused directly on what you've asked, not a sweep of everything. Submissions without a brief will be returned. This tier is not a full critique; it's a targeted conversation about a specific challenge.

Performance Polish — $110

For performers who want granular, moment-by-moment feedback on their execution. Send your video via Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar, along with a brief that covers: what you want feedback on, what you'd prefer to leave out of the review, and any specific performance outcome you're working toward (a competition, a debut, a particular venue or audience). Lila will work through your act beat by beat, providing detailed notes on movement quality and technique, polishing corrections, pacing within moments, staging choices, reveal timing, and the overall feel of your performance in the room.

All tiers include one round of clarifying questions via email. This is for follow-up questions on the feedback provided, not for submitting additional video.

Not sure which tier is right for you? The Act Review is for when something isn't working and you need to figure out why. Performance Polish is for when you know what you're doing, you just want to do it better.
