Amelia Mae
Paradise
is an original founder/director/choreographer and general little-engine-that-could of Diamond Daggers. You may have seen her on any number of stages in the Bay Area in the past 7 years, including The Great American Music Hall, Bimbo's, The Place of Fine Arts, 12 Galaxies, The Victoria Theater, SomArts, ODC, Great America, and Dance Mission. Or maybe you saw her on a random street breaking into a fully choreographed Fosse inspired improvisation when the moment was right and the pavement just moist.
She is renowned for her own irreverent brainchild, Breakfast Burlesque, especially popular is the Bacon Garter Belt and Cinnamon Bun Pasties. With a degree in Flamenco, this sultry New Mexico native knows how to dance with unbridled fiery passion and technique alike. She has produced and appeared in events for The National Center for Lesbian Rights, The National Queer Arts Festival, CounterPULSE, and Jon Sims Center for the Arts. She is featured in the forthcoming Bearded Lady Book.
Mrs. Paradise lives in Oakland with her very own bearded-lady, Sir Loin Strip aka Sarah Paradise, and they are busy figuring out what to say to their future love child when asked Mommies, why don't I have a beard?
