Question:

In Burlesque show fundraiser, any tips?

Hi Everyone,
I was asked to dance in a little Burlesque show to raise money for Breast Cancer.
Now I have no idea what to do!
I have to dance to a 4 min song... alone!

Anyone got any tips/advice/links for me?

Thanks!


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you can find any old clips or movies with Gypsy Rose Lee, that's burlesque at it's finest. She was sexy, but not lewd, nor was she obvious. You thought you saw what you wanted to see -- but often, what you thought you saw was not what she revealed because, in fact, she revealed very little!
Much of what went on in burlesque involved comedy. It was cute, it was kitch.
A typical burlesque song would be 'Let Me Entertain You' - in fact, it's a classic.
So keep it light, keep it fun, and keep it clean.
Good luck! Sounds like a super way to raise funds.
