Texas Burlesque Festival 2013

April 8, 2013 12:52 pm by: Mike Lee

TXBF 2013
Since 2007, the Texas Burlesque Festival has been bringing together dancers and performers from Texas, the U.S., and abroad to celebrate and perform the art of the tease. The three day event will feature many of the best performers of the current neo-burlesque scene as well some of the legends of classic burlesque. There are three nights of performances along with workshops and a performers' brunch, all designed to honor what producer Lynn Raridon refers to as an "underdog of the arts." Find more details at the TXBF website (but be aware the site, as well as the festival itself, is an adults-only sort of thing)....
