Not by a long shot! Burlesque is about the art of the tease with a healthy dose of humor and attitude. And there are many different forms. That means it can be technical dance steps and combinations like famed choreographer Bob Fosse used in Broadway shows like Cabaret and Chicago (where there was NO nudity at all)....to classic "Peel and Reveal" old school burlesque numbers with extravagant costumes, characters, storylines and routines....to Neo Burlesque numbers that combine a bit from both worlds and use modern music in various genres. So it is really what YOU want to make it!
