Twerk It Down Chloe is on a mission to reignite the spark within her students and celebrate their authentic bigness through the art of twerk. She believes twerk is a powerful pathway to self love.

Chloe's teaching journey was illuminated when she saw that her students were on similar journeys of self-discovery, much like hers, finding their way to twerk for reasons they couldn’t yet articulate. For Chloe, every pop, drop, and shimmy is a reminder that our bodies belong to us, and embracing them fully is an act of liberation.

With 8 years of experience, four-time winner of Miss Twerk Australia, third place in the International Twerk Championship Australian Heat 2025, director of Perth Twerk and co-founder of Twerk It Down Under Competition and Asspire Entertainment, Chloe has trained with some of the world’s most renowned twerk instructors from all over the world. She leads by example, knowing that if she doesn’t grow, her community won’t either, fueling her passion to create a space where both she and her students can continue to expand.

They’re the provocative pair that pose the question; “do I want to be them, or do I want to be in them?” 

This chaotic collaboration fuses the worlds of drag, burlesque & circus to create a dynamic duo that’s more unhinged than their conception. Having first crossed paths at the 2024 FringeWorld festival, this talented twosome have transcended at U-haul speed to form a trouble making twosome that’ll keep you on your toes. 

Jaxon Coke is the silly-sexy dancer, circus & drag artist whirling their way across WA, while Six Inch Minx is the sassy stiletto queen of South Aussie striptease, now also residing here in the West. 

It’s a little too convenient that their names share three of the letter X, because Triple X is exactly their vibe. 

Both of these award winning performers are familiar with coming first, captivating your senses in just a second, but they’re always looking for a third… and tonight you’re invited to join them! 😜 

Will they be sensual, stupid or serious? You never quite know what you’re in for when these two combine forces. This dauntless duo is valorously versatile and they’re here to flirt & flaunt their way across every stage for your viewing pleasure.

Welcome to a world where the boundaries between the bizarre and the beautiful blur. Nova’s stage presence is impossible to ignore as she doesn’t just perform, she hypnotizes her audience with an intoxicating concoction of sideshow and seduction.

Nova Mystique began her performance journey in Adelaide early 2023 as an aerialist and performance artist with productions such as Inferno and Devious Adelaide before she stepped foot into the world of burlesque and sideshow.

She officially made her burlesque and sideshow debut in Fringe World Perth 2024, as Wednesday Addams, solidifying her status as a rising star in the burlesque and sideshow scene and becoming a regular at the Adelaide burlesque Rooftop Bar Nineteen Ten.

Inspired by the overwhelming love she received in the Boorloo arts community, she made the choice to move from Adelaide to Perth in July 2024 to fully immerse herself in her craft and create things that feel true to herself. As a lesbian, she’s really found her place within the queer community here which intersects so deeply with burlesque.

She is your carnival doll. She is a star. She is Nova Mystique
