About the Instructor

Madame Lola, also known as Glo, began performing & teaching hoop in 2011, a year after she was first introduced to the prop that began her journey into performing arts. Since then she has performed with a variety of props, spinning lights and fire, while also studying and performing various styles of dance such as latin, burlesque, hip hop, Puerto Rican folk dance, pole, and gogo.

Prior to becoming a full time model and Philly's finest stage performer, Madame Lola was a quiet poet, photographer and mixed media artist, which brings meaning to her stage name, Madame Lola: a combination of her kink influenced style and the name of her aspired notorious Spanish dancer Lola Montez. Madame Lola is currently affiliated with Go Gurlz, Setu Tribe and Happy Is.

For specific questions about this workshop, Lola asks you PM her on Facebook.
