Maria TopCatt is the ultimate dancing queen and burlesque vixen of South Philly. Born and Raised in South Jersey, Maria’s love of performance started in the theatre, where she earned her BA in theatre and dance performance from Stockton University. She has been twirling and jump splitting as Maria TopCatt for over a decade. She is Miss Fancy Brigade 2016, Best Dance Artist of Philly 2016, and Best of Philly’s 2018 reciptient for her Drag Queen Storytime. She currently is the resident host of Topcatt Cabaret, and La Masion Rose, and can be seen as the Fabrika Showgirl every Friday and Saturday Night. When Maria hangs up her heels at 5am she takes a quick power nap and wakes up refreshed and ready for her day as Anthony, a ballroom and latin dance instructor at Society Hill Dance Academy, where he has been teaching for twelve years, bringing the joy of dance to the Philadelphia Community. Anthony’s hobbies include raising awareness and funding for HIV/AIDS as one of the hosts for Philly’s largest fundraiser, Code Red, caring for his two fur babies Gracie Lou and Momo, and spending all of his money of his floozy alter ego, Maria!
