A troupe of burlesque beauties are encouraging other women to shake off their inhibitions and build their personal confidence by joining them.
Victoria Watson, 39, teaches the art of burlesque chair dance to groups including the Beauties in Wishaw, the Follies who are based in her home town, and another group in Rutherglen.
Victoria, from Bellshill, developed her passion and desire for the drama and glamour of burlesque around a decade ago.
