What a joy and a privilege it was to watch Erotique Burlesque dance into history when they performed a stellar show on the Zhaza Zerbino Stage at the Dance Queens sim! These lovely ladies presented a full show of some of their favorite acts, with Host Helios welcoming the guests and DJ Chopper spinning the tunes. Each act was brilliantly curated, providing the audience eye-popping dances, each featuring stunning costumes, detailed sets and tightly synced choreography plus fabulous touches of stage magic.

THE INTERVIEW
1. How and when did your troupe form?
After dancing for 10yrs in another dance troupe. I decided
to start my own and asked my SL sister Lillie to join me she said yes without
hesitation. So in April/2023 we started EROTIQUE BURLESQUE on our very own sim
FRENCH SOLEIL.
2. Where do you usually perform, what is your usual venue?
We perform on our own sim FRENCH SOLEIL
3. What is your troupe's primary goal in dance?
To be the best we can be. To be unique, you will never find
any of our sets shown anywhere else except at EROTIQUE BURLESQUE. To have the
best costumes and sets for our monthly themes.
4. What can an
audience member expect to see at one of your shows?
Very colourful, grand and sexy sets that will always be
based on Burlesque. No variety shows and no cabaret shows. We are strictly
Burlesque Showgirls.
5. Who owns the troupe and who directs or manages it?
We have 2 owners:
Lillie Orfan is an owner and our PR person
Liqueur is an owner and the GM
6. As a Director or Manager, what is your favorite thing
about having a troupe?
My favorite is making up the themes for each month. Making
the Finale sets as well as my own. I enjoy building sets and seeing the end
product when we do our shows. Makes me very satisfied.
7. As a Director or Manager, what is your least favorite
thing about having a troupe?
It's hard to find dancers that fit together as a troupe, team
players but once we did its the best ever.
8. What directive would you give to someone who wants to
join your troupe?
We are a small troupe that prefer to stay that way, its more
of a family. There is no "I" in Team and no place for Divas. We are
always looking to add one or two more professional choreographers that will fit
into our little family.
9. What is your favorite food, favorite drink, and please
tell us about any pets that you have.
Favorite food pretty much Chinese Food
Favorite drink various teas from all over
I don't have any pets but as a child I think I had them all
LOL
10. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Come see a show! We have two theme shows twice a month One is
on a Friday night at 7:15pm slt and one is for the European VIPs on a Sunday at
1:30pm slt. As well as we dance for a
bit with the audience after the shows. We have FUNK NIGHT every other Wed at
our UPTOWN FUNK club on the sim. Join our VIP group or our Subscriber for exact
dates and times of our shows.
