Black Shawl Cabaret

Ms. Sapphire Ivy

Ms. Sapphire Ivy seduces with intention, turning slow burns into unforgettable revelations. A proud member of Blackshawl Cabaret, she commands the stage with elegance and undeniable presence. 

Performing since 2022, Sapphire has graced stages across the country—from festivals and theaters to intimate local venues—bringing her signature blend of sensuality and storytelling to every performance. She is the 2nd Runner-Up of the 2026 Mx Ebony Burlesque Pageant, a title that reflects both her artistry and impact within the burlesque community. 

Beyond the stage, Sapphire is a Nurse, Veteran , Certified Herbalist, and Reiki Master. She brings a deeply intentional and embodied approach to her work, merging healing with performance. 

Burlesque has been a powerful tool in her own journey—teaching her to stand firmly in her beauty and power through her own lens, without allowing the perceptions of others to define her. Through both performance and teaching, Ms. Sapphire Ivy invites others to do the same: to explore, to express, and to unapologetically own every layer of who they are. 

Darling Devy

As “The Silver Screen Siren” of burlesque, Darling Devy embodies the fantastical drama and allure of a bygone era on the modern stage with her enchantingly graceful and elegant style. She carefully crafts acts drawing on her over 20 years of study in a diverse and multicultural repertoire of dance styles. Devy has been a member of Black Shawl Cabaret of Bristol, TN since 2024. She is also co-producer for the Little Chicago Cabaret in Johnson City, a sober 1920s jazz club experience.

Peels of Emotion (Burlesque Class)

Peels of Emotions is a movement-based improv experience where we “reveal through the chakras” from the very first step on stage to the final walk-off. Students explore how to channel energy through each chakra, building magnetic stage presence, emotional depth, and intentional reveals. 

Limited spaces available.
