Fitesque - Burlesque Fitness Sydney

The Choo la la Story

Choo la la began in Adelaide with husband and wife team, Mel & Mark...

Mel, a professional dancer who had travelled the world performing on cruise ships, found that upon moving to Adelaide, her dancing was put on hold while she pursued a career in fitness. Mel was passionate about her fitness career, but there was always a soft spot in her heart for dance and although Mark encouraged her to try teaching burlesque fusion, her confidence was low after taking time away from the dance world. It wasn’t until Mel had a conversation with a friend who was very keen to take some dance classes, that Mel decided to take her husband’s advice, step outside her comfort zone and give teaching burlesque fusion a go. As the weeks went by, Mel found that through teaching and sharing her passion for dance, her confidence was returning.

She knew that if it worked for her, it could work for other women too and so Choo la la was born!

What started with a class of 6 women grew over the years into a community of hundreds, so Mel and Mark thought, why stop at Adelaide? They decided to bring Choo la la to Sydney (Mel’s hometown) and within the first 6 months of launching, they had opened two Sydney locations - Bondi & Maroubra.
