Scarlett is at her most playful when adorned with pearls and white tulle. Inspired by the rhythm of French music, a reveal early on in the piece creates a twist on classic burlesque tease. Combining a love of costuming and movement has led Scarlett to believe that they simply come hand in hand with attitude, glamour and cheeky seduction. Length: 3:51Music: Jazz Manouche Vol. 3Video: see 'Videos'

Simply put: Swan Lake meets Burlesque. Scarlett retraces her Classical Ballet roots and combines the timelessness of Swan Lake with the softness of Burlesque’s feather fans. Wonderfully coy and reminiscent of the White Swan, Scarlett balances this with innocent flirtation and challenges our classic understanding of Burlesque tease. Length: 5:56Music: Swan Lake Act III by TchaikovskyVideo: see 'Videos'
