Burlesque

So....I have a fascination with it. I love anything vintage, retro, past that 50's. I've been watching vids of burlesque dancers coming across a dancer by the name of Perle Noire the Black Pearl. She is an african american dancer and I think she's wonderful. Her performances are lively and they draw you in. She explodes from the stage and sexiness illuminates off of her. I watched many vids of other dancers and everyone has their own style. In contrast to the type of stripping you see in strip clubs, burlesque is more than that. While "stripping" seems slutty Burlesque is sexy, classy, about glamour. It promotes a sense of women empowerment and acceptance of femininity. Yes a women is on stage basically half-naked shaking her ass but there's the idea that "hey we women no matter what size are beautiful and I want to flaunt that and shout that to other women". Surprisingly, burlesque appears more to a female audience more than male. I would love to try burlesque some day. That's one of my fantasies. I just need to work on that confidence to perform in front of other people LOL.
