The emerging burlesque dancer is a bit like a blossom. At times burlesque is the most exhilarating exciting thing many women have ever experienced and at other times it is terrifying to imagine how on earth could reveal yourself, your body, and your heart to a group of onlookers.

This paradox marks the beauty and challenge of performing. The fear and exhilaration takes you to a precipice and you have to decide: “Can I do it?! Can I jump in?! Can I reveal myself?! Can I be witnessed in my vulnerably?! My beauty?! My sexuality?!”
