FRIDAY MAY 16:
️BURLESQUE EMPOWERMENT with Pro Performer and Producer Chella Bella
️Monthly HOT in The Hammer events explore themes related to sex, kink, erotica and all things HOT in Hamilton, Ontario. In the coming months, watch for storytelling, skill sharing, panel discussions, lectures, comedy and so much more. Watch this site for more info on these events, which will take place on the third Friday of every month in 2025.
Join the fabulous Chella Bella for a 90-minute burlesque workshop that blends history, movement, and empowerment!
A seasoned performer, aerialist, and cabaret producer, Chella is the mastermind behind The Night Circus Toronto and has graced stages across Ontario with acts like the mesmerizing Blue Dragon, a jungle cat tiki act called Free Animal, and the theatrical Holy Hexed! With a passion for storytelling through movement, she brings her expertise to guide you through the art of the tease.
1) The session begins with an introductory lecture, exploring the rich origins of burlesque across different cultures—from its European vaudeville roots to influences from Middle Eastern, Latin, and Black American performance traditions that shaped modern burlesque.
2) After a dynamic warm-up, you’ll learn essential burlesque moves, followed by a session on developing your own unique showgirl walk, emphasizing confidence, poise, and personality.
3) Next, you’ll put your skills into practice with a group choreography session, where you’ll not only learn a fun routine but also have the chance to inject your own flair and individuality.
4) The workshop concludes with a cool down and a follow-up discussion, offering resources and next steps for those eager to continue their burlesque journey.
Whether you’re an experienced performer or a total beginner, this workshop is all about celebrating your unique expression and having a fabulous time!

The KINKY BRUNCH Munch
Eat, meet and mingle on Sunday June 22, 10am to 2pm at The Staircase!
Tickets will go on sale soon for the NEW Downtown Hamilton KINKY BRUNCH Munch, a presentation of HOT in The Hammer and KINKY to The Core.
Join us at The Staircase Cafe on SUNDAY JUNE 22 from 10am to 2pm for a social gathering of kinky individuals, who are invited to attend from all across the GTHA.
The unique part is that while most munches take place in “vanilla” establishments — where kinky attire is not allowed — we have the venue all to ourselves, so that you may dress up as kinky/fetish-y as you like! But, uhhh… no nudity, please, lol.
As always, HOT in The Hammer presents thought-provoking guest speakers and performers: Photographer Caroline Monte of Captured by Caro, local Artist and Educator Morgan Thorne, Indigenous Author and Artist Stella Vandal, Frank of Vibrating Tarot, and others will be taking part!
There will be special brunch items for us, in addition to the light and casual Staircase Cafe menu.
Kink-centric businesses are invited to table in a variety of inviting spaces, both indoors and out! Here is your invitation to fill out an information & application form, to apply for vending space. Spaces are limited in order to preserve indoor vending space in the case of rain, so APPLY NOW, below. ⬇️
😃👍 >> Wow, the indoor spaces are already spoken for, and only FIVE outdoor vending spaces are left available.
You are invited to both join and follow HOT in The Hammer on FetLife for all the JUICY, BRUNCHY, HOT, and KINKY details!
Be there for HOT in The Hammer's first ever KINKY BRUNCH Munch on Sunday June 22, 10am to 2pm.
