and all time hype girl

Tessa TrueHeart

Tessa TrueHeart! Yes that's right, this buxom babe's curves won't lie. She's glamour, grace and pussy in your face. Her evocative ways are sure to leave her audience arrested in the moment. 

After graduating with a B.A. in arts and Education and a Minor in Dance from William Smith College in 2007, Tessa uprooted and moved across the country to San Francisco, CA. An immense love for dance and her adventurous and determined spirit quickly took her through the ranks, first performing with Damage Control Dance directed by Cera Byer and then teaming up with Jill Parker the mama of the fusion belly dance phenomena, working as assistant director to her company the Foxglove Sweethearts.

Tessa is now proud Head Mistress of Bees Knees Burlesque Academy in Cortland NY where she teaches both eager young diamonds hungry for polish or seasoned performers who just want a little taste of her glitter! Known for her evocative style that combines the languid lushness of belly dance and erotic floorwork with burlesque sensibility and sass.  Tessa strives for technical proficiency, artistic integrity and emotional strength. She is an inspirational, dynamic, gentle teacher.
