“A dancer is pacing the floor in Nike high tops, fishnets and a tulle tutu. Her director Lisa Byrne, meanwhile, is attempting to make the feather-flooded stage look like a place that produces theatre, not down comforters.

It’s nearly show time at The Button Factory for the Irish Burlesque School, and everyday women of all shapes, sizes and professions are getting ready to show what happens when you swap inhibitions and body negativity for silk fans, feather boas and a bit of old world glamour. Between the recent Miss Burlesque Ireland competition and Dublin’s annual Burlesque Festival, Ireland’s burlesque scene has been steadily growing as a wiggly alternative to tighter and (I’ll say it) far less interesting Irish dance.”

“SIZZLING with style, Ireland’s burlesque pioneers are pushing the boundaries of convention with routines that fire the imagination.

Burlesque might be an old performance art, but it’s recent popularity here is spurred on by popular culture’s embrace of all things satin and sequinned.

Pop princesses such as Beyonce and Rihanna have taken burlesque as a stable for their videos and live performances and it seems Irish women are equally excited.”
