Many of these dancers danced on the Vaudeville stage when Vaudeville's history was transforming into Burlesque, as well as dancing in many regular nightclubs which had fabulous stage shows featuring the talent and many times the skin of these famous Hoochy Coochy dancers. Some fabulous dancers found the easy money and cheap fame of the risque side of burlesque very appealing with many changing the way we think, dress and act today.
In the glory days of Burlesque, shows were filled with hilarious comedians, witty sketches, beautiful chorus girls and costumes, Dancers and... the Strip tease. Some of this might be old but you'll enjoy the (visual) history of these amazing performers of Burlesk. We are mainly talking the Vegas showgirl, Burlesque and theatre type, not the sleaze strip joints one may think of when thinking of Burlesque today (many dancers are listed here however). Many of these dancers/ Strippers of yesteryear are honored here.
Note: This page may not be suitable for minors as some photos are on the risque side (no full frontal nudity_or_porn but there are some topless photos), so caution is advised, you may want to child block this STARTING page. |
