✨Burlesque✨
The dance style I enjoy performing the most
Burlesque is a form of entertainment that originated in the 19th century, blending satire, parody, and humor to create exaggerated performances that often mock serious subjects. Evolving from literary and dramatic works, burlesque transitioned into a style associated with variety shows and vaudeville, featuring comedy sketches, musical performances, and sometimes striptease. In contemporary times, burlesque has seen a revival, embracing both traditional and modern elements, fostering diversity, self-expression, and body positivity among performers who celebrate the art form's theatrical and individualistic nature.
