Routines

[Lacy Lynn Knox]

so i'm just starting to really learn about the details of burlesque, and one thing no one ever mentions is how often a routine is preformed. in youtube videos they always say "it's {insert sexy name here} doing her {whatever} routine"so how often should a routine be performed? is it like only once, or do people tour and do the same routine in numerous venues for a while?

I first started in a troupe.
So, I was performing a few pieces like twice a month. I wanted to expand myself so I dropped the troupe and now perform independently booking my own gigs.
It really depends how actively you want to perform, a lot of time, burlesque gals will make a routine their signature thing. But if you are just starting out, performing one piece over a few times won't harm you.
I say, Choreograph a routine, perform it till you get sick of it, or you have greater ideas for another one and try another one.

Good luck!
