Performances

Boulder Burlesque is a performance dance troupe based in Boulder, Colorado. Our troupe combines the art of Burlesque with contemporary dance and theater to create evocative individual and group performances. Our mission is to explore sensuality and intimacy through the art of movement while celebrating the sacred human nature of sexuality.We strive to reclaim sexual expression as a sacred art, to provide healing through movement, and to gather people together who support the joy of fully embodied expression in all forms.What to expect at a Boulder Burlesque performance:-Our performers bring a range of interdisciplinary talents to the stage, including classic burlesque, neo-burlesque, comedy & satire, and avant-garde performance art.-Each act is like a mini-play, and delivers its own narrative, story, tone and message.-Arrive early to get a good seat!
