If you find yourself intrigued by the allure and sophistication of burlesque performers then you’re not alone. Burlesque striptease is enormously popular right now due to the boom in this art form over the past few years, most notably due to the most infamous of burlesque performers of all, Ms Dita Von Tesse.

BURLESQUE MUSIC Plan your burlesque performances by firstly choosing your music. You can choose something that will fit the theme that you choose to portray as part of your performance. If you prefer to go for music that is current, then it is best to choose something that firstly matches your theme and then matches your routine. Most burlesque dancing is more about slow movements and long suggestive lines rather than a traditional erotic dance routine, so try to keep that in mind when you are choosing the music.
BURLESQUE COSTUMES 
Vintage burlesque involves telling a story, a tale even in a very provocative and suggestive way.

Choosing your burlesque costume can also help you choose your burlesque theme. Themes can include an Asian, or Oriental theme with a sexy kimono and chop sticks in your hair, to something very sweet and lovely like a frilly costume accompanied by a pretty a parasol. It really all depends on the story you wish to tell.
THE STRIPTEASE When it comes to putting together your burlesque performance, it will involve a strip.

You will however need to learn how to remove parts of clothing from your body in a sensual and erotic way. It doesn’t need to be anything over the top but rather just simply sexy movements such as seductively removing elbow length gloves, or sexily rolling your suspenders down your leg.

Embracing The Fun And Excitement Of Erotic Dance!
Erotic dance comes in many forms and varieties and far from being deemed sleazy or forms of dance “that other girls do” thankfully they have been embraced as their own art forms and are highly regarded as a respected skill.
So much so, that most forms of erotic dance have been embraced in to the mainstream and are no longer considered taboo. You can find almost every kind of dance class in every major city and erotic dance classes such as pole dancing, lap dancing, burlesque and belly dancing are no longer few and far between.
If you have an open mind about these forms of dance, what they represent and would like to explore your female sexuality, then here’s a quick run down on what you an expect.
Burlesque
Burlesque is most definitely an art form, but some may not consider it a dance as such, but more along the lines of a sensual striptease. If you have done ballet before as a child, you may find this one enjoyable as you would be used to the fine arm and leg lines and holding specific postures that burlesque requires. A burlesque class might help you turn these normal ballet type positions in to something more feminine, definitely more sexual and more fun.
Belly Dance
If you take the time to really discover and learn about the origins and discipline that belly dance is, you will learn that when done correctly it is actually danced in meditative state. Belly dancing actually has a lot of healing benefits by helping to release stress and tension from the body and the mind. It will help to tone muscles and is particularly beneficial for preparing the muscles in your stomach to stretch and contract, perfect for before and after childbirth.
Exotic Lap Dancing
Lap dancing is the most overtly sexual dance there is around. The thing with a good old lap dance is though, that you don’t have to take it so seriously. It’s actually a really fun way to exercise and learn to be just that bit more sexy at the same time. It doesn’t mean that you have to go around giving a sexual lap dance to every guy you see.
Exotic Pole Dancing
Pole dancing really is an incredible skill. It takes enormous amounts of upper body strength, flexibility and core strength to be able to do even the simplest pole dance moves. That said, that shouldn’t be a deterrent if you are interested in giving it a go. You should take it on as personal challenge, to tone up, become stronger and maybe just that little bit sexier too.
