Roxi D'Lite is a Canadian burlesque performer, model and photographer from Windsor, Ontario. She is the current World Champion of Exotic Dance, the Exotic Dancer Invitational Showgirl Champion and was crowned Reigning Queen of Burlesque and Miss Exotic World 2010 at the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. She is known as the Bad Girl of Burlesque and her tagline is the Drinkin’, Smokin', Strippin' Machine.
Roxi D'Lite resides in Las Vegas, NV and is of Métis and French-Canadian descent. As a child she studied gymnastics and later trained in aerial acrobatics with a former Cirque Du Soleil performer.
She began dancing while finishing the graphic design program at St. Clair College. She discovered burlesque by accident in 2005 while working as a dancer in a couples club. She drew her inspiration from both old Hollywood glamour as well as Miss Piggy, and developed retro-inspired striptease acts. After an audience member praised her for "bringing back burlesque", she then studied its culture and history. The Windsor Star notes, "Ironically, Roxi would never have been able to immerse herself in old-time burlesque if it weren’t for modern technology." Mixing the old and the new has become the hallmark for Roxi, often mixing classic-burlesque themes with modern props, pole tricks and aerial acrobatics.
Roxi D'Lite has received numerous accolades throughout her career. Most recently, Roxi D'Lite was named the top burlesque performer in the world.
In 2014, Roxi D'Lite was invited to compete in the Exotic Dancer Invitational competition where she was crowned the Showgirl Champion and named the Best Dancer. Two weeks later, Roxi competed in the Grand Prix of Exotic Dance where she was crowned World Champion of Exotic Dance and won the titles of Best Burlesque Performer and Best Exotic Dancer.
In 2009, Roxi D'Lite was the first Canadian in history to be invited to compete for the coveted Miss Exotic World title. She performed her act, the Runaway Bride, which culminates in an aerial act with a giant diamond mounted on top of an aerial hoop. The 2009 Miss Exotic World pageant was Roxi’s first competition. In 2009, she won the 1st Runner-up to Miss Exotic World and earned a return appearance at the 2010 Miss Exotic World Pageant.
