Burlesque

Club information

NTU Burlesque is a strong-minded group of empowering individuals with varied dance abilities. You do not have to have any previous dance experience to join us and we do not hold auditions, the club prides itself on its inclusiveness and is open to everyone! Burlesque is a cabaret styled dance which includes optional strip tease.

Join us to learn a variety of routines including traditional burlesque, sassy numbers and rocky numbers. Learn how to freestyle and techniques such as glove and stocking peeling, performing with an amazing group of people whilst watching your confidence rocket! We hold 3 shows a year, usually around Christmas, Valentines and our big May show, however these shows are optional for participation! We also hold fantastic social events such as Ocean Wednesdays, boat ball, sports tour and activities such as bowling and quiz nights etc.

This year our club hit 100 members for the first time in history and it just keeps growing! We hope you will join our Trent Tigerlilie family!
