Coquette de Jour
Coquette de Jour has a dark past, haunted by an evil twin that humiliated her on the dance floor. Because of this, she joined Effie's Club Follies (based in Athens, GA) and vowed to dance all the dances she could ever dance. Her styles are many, and she will continue to acquire more. Presently, she enjoys Robot Dancing, 90's Hip Hop, Bellydancing, and Wiggling.
