A propos
After two years of sluttifying Brussels, the Jezebel Studio founders, students, friends & allies come together for the one and only avant-premiere of The Jezebels movie.
Through the soft gaze of filmmakers Thanasis & Menna, we plunge into the Jezebel universe and get to know their first steps & latest challenges. After the screening, founders Spring, Thilde, Zora and their guest teachers take the mic in a cosy aftertalk, moderated by Bissi.
Monokimono and Amina808, who provided the soundtrack to the movie, will both play a live concert. There will be plenty of community pole jam time (for new and longtime Jezebels!) and we end the night with a Jezebel to Jezebel dj set. Join us?

ABOUT
JEZEBEL STUDIO is Brussels' queer pole dance collective redefining movement through avant-garde artistry. Founded by Spring, Thilde & Zora, they've spent two years creating a space where neo-bitchery meets hypersexuality, celebrating every form of sensual expression from anxious dominatrix to shy exhibitionist.

THE JEZEBELS MOVIE is a vibrant film portrait of the Brussels-based pole-dancing collective. A story of friendship, identity, self-exploration, and the resilience of their community. Through candid conversations, powerful body performances, and shared moments of connection, the film celebrates the freedom to express, to belong, and to create without compromise, right in the heart of Brussels. A fight for softness when the world needs it most.
