A fond memory from Ohlala in Goa: performing a customised version of my Steel Blade act for an Arabian Nights event. ✨

During my time in India, I had the opportunity to perform many different acts for an incredible variety of themes. Adapting the music, costume, movement and character for each new setting was sometimes challenging—and always creatively rewarding.

I still love finding the details that make a performance feel as though it truly belongs to the event. ⚔️ #IndiaEvents #LuxuryEventEntertainment #SpecialtyAct #SteelBlade #ObjectManipulation #InternationalPerformer #EventEntertainment taken in Oh la la Boutique by @valeriesolstix

One week until Stockholm Burlesque Festival! Stockholm, I’m bringing you a fish. 🐟✨

It’s my very first burlesque festival,
I’m excited, slightly terrified, and can’t wait to share my Magical Mermaid with you.

Thank you @panrayphotography for this beautiful photo. 📸💙

Last, but certainly not least! Welcoming... the gorgeous Valerie Sealey

Berlin-based performance artist from California creating character-driven acts for variety and burlesque stages. Combining object manipulation, magic, and transformation, she builds playful, seductive worlds—from the flirtatious precision of “Paddle” to the mischievous “Magical Mermaid”—always with strong presence, musicality, and a distinct stage identity.

Oct 3, SBF Gala night

I am so incredibly happy to be back reunited with my favorite prop at @varietepromenart in beautiful Seebad Ahlbeck on Usedom Island!

The heat is rising on the coast and we are ready to play. See you by the beach! ✨👀#PromenArt #VarietePromenArt #SummerShow #paddleact taken in Strand Ahlbeck by @valeriesolstix

to my dearest Paddle,
I can’t believe we are already at our last week of shows here at Varieté PromenArt on Usedom Island! 😭🌊Where did the summer go? It feels like just yesterday we were reuniting under the sea breeze, and now we are prepping for our final bows. Already Thursday (September 3rd), we are leaving absolutely everything on that stage. 🎪✨We came, we saw, we served pure glamour, and we survived the coastal wind. Paddle, you’ve been a dream partner—predictable, supportive, and you never complain when I spin you too fast. ❤️If you haven’t caught the magic yet, this is your absolute last chance to see us in action before we pack up the circus trunk! Who is coming to the finale? 👇👀 @varietepromenart #LastWeekOfShows #contactjuggling #PaddleAct #UsedomUrlaub #StageRomance taken in Ahlbeck by @valeriesolstix

Office views this week… 🌊🔮✨Honestly, if you told the younger version of me that my „9-to-5“ would involve rolling crystal balls on a sun-drenched beach in Usedom, I wouldn’t have believed you.I am so incredibly incredibly grateful to be performing at Varieté PromenArt from Monday through Thursday until September 3rd. There is nothing quite like the feeling of the sea breeze, the sand under my feet, and getting to create magic for a living. Love my job, love my life, and absolutely loving this island energy. ☀️🦅Drop a 🔮 if you’re ready to trade your desk for the beach! #VarietePromenArt #ContactJuggling #CircusArtist #LoveMyJob #beachvibes taken in Usedom by @valeriesolstix

to my dearest Paddle,
I can’t believe it is already our LAST DAY together here at @varietepromenart ! 😭🌊They say time flies when you’re having fun in the sun, but nobody warned me it would speed by this fast. Between the absolute dream team of wonderful colleagues, a ridiculously fun show, and the gorgeous Usedom beach backdrop, this season has been an absolute whirlwind. ☀️🎪Paddle, you’ve been the most reliable partner a showgirl could ask for. You never missed a cue, you never stole my makeup, and you never complained about all the sand. We kept our balance while the sea winds did its worst, we dodged the seagulls, and we made it to the grand finale! 🕊️✨To my incredible stage family and our lovely audiences: THANK YOU @loooop.de @sara_twister @dan_marques_magic @fxdeco for these magical moments . Tonight, we give it everything we’ve got for the final bow, leaving our hearts and probably some sand on this special stage! 🎬🥂#PromenArt #VarietePromenArt #GrandFinale #LastShow #PaddleAct taken in Ahlbeck by @valeriesolstix
