How did you start performing Burlesque?

I figured this is an easy way to meet some other performers. Tell me your story! Mine is on my page. <3

I just took my first class on Wednesday! I've been enchanted with the whole mystique surrounding it for a couple of years now.

I had seen a piece on We tv's Secret Lives of Women about a girl who lost a lot of weight after having LapBand surgery, then became a full time burlesque dancer and pinup model. At the time, I was contemplating weight loss surgery for myself. I saw that piece on television and just *knew* I had to do it once I had my own surgery.

Fast forward two years. I'm down to about half my former body weight and learning to reclaim my confidence and sensuality. So I'm taking my classes and hoping to enjoy every step of the journey!
