MADE YOU BLUSH... an extravagant Valentine’s Cabaret Sunday Feb. 12
Originally from Toronto, Francesca
Galea ventured out west and enrolled
in the professional training program at
Decidedly Jazz Danceworks . Thereafter,
she set her sights on Las Vegas where she
quickly learned she was a Canadian girl
who was a bit too sweet. “I thought it
would be all roses and easy, but it’s not.
It’s about who you know, and I was tired
of auditioning for other people so I decided
to produce my own.” The result of
that is Accalia Entertainment Company
based in Calgary that she runs with her
partner and stage tech, Paul Marino.
Accalia, according to Galea, means
she-wolf pack. “I’m a bit of a she-wolf,
and we found other she-wolfs and we’re
ready to take over the world! My concept
is to be the sexy Cirque du Soleil.”
Accalia is a passion project completely
funded by Galea that’s not-for-profit and
reaches out to the community through
its event for support.
On Sunday, February 12, Made You
Blush: A Valentine’s Day Cabaret takes
place at 628 Stage and Lounge. The
show is geared towards couples to start
off an romantic evening. “There will
be ten acts in total including dancers,
acro-ballet, a couples pole act, spoken
word, a singer-guitarist, and a DJ playing
before after and between acts,” says
Galea. “The night will also be filled with
games, prizes, lots of champagne, oysters
and chocolate covered strawberries.
There’s no nudity, but it’s very sexy, it’s
very elegant and driven towards a 25
plus crowd for sure.”
