We integrate our international showgirls into our showgirl community on this day!

Saturday, May 28th, you spend the afternoon at our outdoor Dress Rehearsal! You will PARADE with the Hot Pink Feathers & The Hot Pink Feathers All-Star Marching Band! You’ll have so much fun, you’ll barely be able to wait for the GRAND Event~
THE BIG DAY :: GRAND CARNAVAL PARADE & AFTER-PARTY!
Today is the day! We will gather together at the crack of dawn on May 29th – glamourize ourselves – and make our way to the Parade Staging Area.
From here, you’ll have full back-stage access to all the goings-on of the Carnaval Parade, while we await our procession placement. For the rest of the day, you’ll experience your FULL AWAKENING SHOWGIRL – reveling in the beauty that is you – and the adoring eyes of the Parade goers. Once through the Parade Procession, we’ll join a party-in-progress at our traditional watering hole – reprise our dances for the gathered crowd – and dance freestyle in celebration of our Showgirl Awakening! You also have access to the entire Festival to enjoy for the rest of the day/evening. And enjoy it you will do – fully lit up by your Inner Showgirl!

"To walk into a sisterhood was amazing … This is empowerment on a much bigger scale than I every could have thought ... It’s like sexy on your own terms." - Joslin O.


"Kellita makes you feel like an experienced dancer, even if you aren't! She knows bodies and how to break things down in order to express the pure, simple dance lines that are naturally in your body and it will feel GOOD. Like coming home to your own personal sparkly palace. The community of dancers drawn to Kellita are amazing, dynamic, caring, & smart. You will feel surrounded by love and like you are part of a cast of glowing stars." - Katie C.




"Everybody just looked so beautiful, and suddenly I was included …the universal acceptance is what helped me…. This is a new experience of being a woman."- Maddie R.


“Dancing the Carnaval with the Hot Pink Feathers is the most fun a girl can have with (some) of her clothes still on.” - Maritza S.





"I could not have asked for a better experience in actually dancing in my first parade and could just feel the love and support from all the other ladies (and the band too)…I do not think of myself as a performer, so to actually be out in public dancing is no small accomplishment for me…it was also the collective joyful experience of being with the whole group that really carried the day for me." - Kathy W.


"I kind of knew in the back of my head that it doesn’t matter what you look like…it’s all about your confidence and how you are inside and that’s what makes you beautiful…I think everybody in society days that, but dancing with these women has taught me to believe that…" - Sharon B.


“I have had absolutely no dance experience. None whatsoever. I’ve had a lot in my head and a lot in my bedroom alone, but until now, no one had ever taught me anything…Kellita is wonderful…dance with Kellita. She makes it easy…She’s so patient. Especially for someone who hasn’t danced before.” - Zoe Y.

About Showgirl Shaman, Kellita


YES! As a member of the professional dance community, a 25-year Carnaval celebrant, and Queen of Carnaval SF 2008, I have the privilege of inviting you on this journey. We represent dancers with 5 days to 5 decades of dance experience — together we make a massive group of beauty and radiance, and you’ll feel right at home — being fully who you are 🙂
This is our premiere experience of the year for stepping into your full Showgirl glory and radiance, absolutely regardless of dance experience. Truly. I’ll be teaching you and guiding you — and your Inner Showgirl will show you up and support you too. The choreography is designed to be accessible and fun and for you to shine and feel gorgeous and delicious while dancing it.
I prepared Maureen, at 50, who had never had a dance class in her life, in 6 hours for her Showgirl parade debut!
I adore bringing out the Awakening Showgirl in women and giving them an opportunity to share her through the Carnaval parade — and the women who have joined me have reported loving the experience and being so glad they made the step. I know what it takes and know the terrain, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, like the back of my hand.
