Shayla Ash

I’m Petit Pois, a multi award-winning burlesque artist from Surrey, passionate about helping people feel bold, confident, and utterly unforgettable. I host fun, empowering burlesque classes and experiences for beginners and enthusiasts alike, exploring the art of storytelling, character, and playful self-expression.

My mission is to create a supportive, body-positive space where anyone can unleash their inner showgirl, boost confidence, and connect with others through creativity. From taster workshops to full-length courses and private events like hen parties or girl’s nights out, I celebrate the joy, humor, and empowerment of burlesque for everyone. Having taught over 100 women already at one of London's leading Burlesque schools I'm thrilled to be able to bring this beautiful artform to my hometown in the suburbs.
