SEATTLE - Burlesque, originally popular here in the States from 1840 through the 1960s, is becoming popular again.
Burlesque blends satire, comedy and adult entertainment, and people everywhere are rediscovering the performance art that once involved every star and writer from Mae West to Bob Hope.
We'll assume Mr. Hope was a writer.
The interest in burlesque has grown so much in recent years, "how to" schools are popping up all over. Miss Indigo Blue is the headmistress and founder of the Seattle Academy of Burlesque. The three-time Miss Exotic World award-winner opened the school in 2003, where she offers classes for women and men in beginning to intermediate Burlesque Arts. The institution is the only one of its kind in the Pacific Northwest!
Women say taking these classes helps them feel more confident in their own skin. Many find it to be an empowering balance to their day jobs.
But the best way to understand burlesque is to experience it.
Miss Indigo Blue is bringing the Va Va Voom to the Pampas Room at El Gaucho's Seattle location. Catch "Nouveau Burlesque" on October 16th from 7:30 - 10:30 pm. Tickets, which start at $70 and run up to $200 per person, include the show as well as a four-course, select dinner menu with your choice of entrée. A select, discounted wine list will also be available during the show.
For tickets, call El Gaucho at (206) 728-1337.
