Burlesk Dunedin

New Zealand born Verona Vega, started her burlesque journey in Nelson at the age of 18.

A multi award winning artist, Verona toured with the Betty Page clinic around NSW, was a professional show girl for 7 years on the Gold coast and Brisbane and hit the big stage of Miss Burlesque Australia, after her performance in the Queensland heats.

Verona eventually made her way back to New Zealand, where a unique partnership formed with Jersey in 2018 and the “It’s Our Jam” shows were born.

“It’s Our Jam” shows are a regular series of shows produced by the pair in Dunedin, and while each show has a different theme the pair are focused on bringing artists from outside of Dunedin to the city together with local artists.

In 2019, Jersey and Verona have been travelling all over New Zealand performing and have been kicking ass producing events. Tease on Tour New Zealand nabbed the pair to produce the Dunedin Tour, and Jersey for the Invercargill Tour.

Recently the duo have become Licensed affiliates of Corps De Burlesque Studio, run by international artists Trillian and Dahlia Dangerous, otherwise known as The Ballet School Dropouts, following the official New Zealand Burlesque Syllabus the pair are now teaching in their own studio, located at 324 George St, Dunedin Central.
