[dancing burlesque] I personally don't consider my performances "burlesque" in the classic sense, though I do call it that as a generic term so audiences know there will be some nuances of nudity (though it's mostly smoke & mirrors-you'd see as much skin at the beach). I'm a professional and classically trained dancer. My numbers bend more into the dark and horrific surreal with a pinch of comedy and are heavily choreographed.
