Burlesque Performance/Show:
Burlesque is typically a form of classic striptease. Performers will come on stage in costume and artistically peel those costume layers. Within our house rules, no genitalia or nipples may be exposed ever. Any additional requirements of the level of undress is up to the discretion of the client.
Burlesque acts are typically one performer on stage for 3-7 minutes (depending on the length of their music).
A typical one hour show is 6 burlesque acts with an emcee between each act and a stage tech for set up and clean up of each act.
Shows can be completely on stage or performers can work within an audience.
Burlesque performers can also be hired as ambiance for an event to walk a show floor in costume.
Performers are not allowed to be touched without consent and any photography or video of performers must be made clear and negotiated ahead of time.
