Fan Dance Intensives with Jacqueline Furey

Jacqueline Furey Is a purveyor of the beautiful and bizarre, straddling the worlds of sideshow, burlesque and circus in her rhinestone stilettos.

Furey made her name as a trained dancer turned stripteaser, soon adding a myriad of risqué skills to her performance repertoire. As a fan dancer, fire eater, sword swallower, knife target girl, hair hanger and then some, she has graced stages from gilded theatres to grand circus tents the world over.

As the star of her own one-woman show, Furey has earned rave reviews and sold-out crowds. She has headlined Reuben Kaye’s infamous cabaret The Kaye Hole as well as featured in the international award winning cabaret Bernie Dieter’s Little Death Club and Chelsea McGuffin’s AZUL and Le Coup. In 2019, Furey showcased her "beauty and balls of steel" on Australia's Got Talent, leaving judges and audiences alike aghast.

Described as bewitching (The Weekend Edition), a wildfire (Xpress Magazine) and a force to be reckoned with (Scentr) Jacqueline is undoubtably an exceptionally talented performer and guaranteed showstopper.
