Burlesque

Welcome, my beloveds! Each act listed here is lovingly crafted to express themes of feminine power, exuberance, and sensuality.

​

Burlesque is a striptease art form. Performers typically disrobe to pasties (nipple covers) and g-strings. If you are seeking something more PG such as a feather fan dance in a glamorous costume that stays on the whole time, please get in touch about custom performances.

 

The acts listed below are available to book as is. They are not available for modification unless otherwise specified in the act description. For example, some acts can be performed with or with out fire, but there are not different colored versions of the costumes you see, nor can the backing tracks be changed.

 

Custom Acts: With advance notice, it may be possible to accommodate requests for custom built performance pieces. Love what I do, but want to see a performance choreographed to a specific musical genre? Have a big event coming up and need an act with a costume that fits the theme? Want an act of a certain length to entertain your guests? Let's talk!

​

Entertainment Options

Show Length

Single performances last anywhere from 3:30 to 6:30 minutes. If booking multiple burlesque acts, a minimum of 20 minutes between acts is required to accommodate costume changes.

​

General Staging & Safety Requirements

The Stage

Ideally, the stage/ performance area should allow for 6' of clearance in all directions. The stage or performance area must be clear of obstructions such as low hanging chandeliers and decor, especially where feather fans and tall headdresses are concerned. "Joy" has additional staging requirements related to whip cracking.

 

The Floor

Dry, stable flooring devoid of divots, dips, gaps in the flooring, or other tripping or slipping hazards is required.

 

Audience Separation

At no point should audience members be able to walk through the performance, walk directly behind the performer, touch the performer, or otherwise access the performance area during the show– unless explicitly invited by Sally to do so.

 

Lighting

Please avoid strobe lights, harsh house lights, and red lighting when possible.

​

Considerations for Outdoor Performances

Extreme Temperatures

Sally will not perform burlesque outdoors once the temperature reaches below 70° Fahrenheit (21° Celsius). The nude human body begins to feel cold at 77° Fahrenheit (25° Celsius)

 

Weather & Inclement Conditions

It is not possible to predict the weather with accuracy when planning for outdoor performances that will take place at a future date. Alternate plans should be made for performances in the event of rain, storms, or other conditions that may be considered dangerous or otherwise unsuitable for outdoor performances.

 

Travel Considerations

Luggage

Most of Sally’s costumes and performance apparatuses fit into her checked luggage.
