About X Burlesque University
X Burlesque University on Tour
There's a lot more to being a Vegas showgirl than just strutting on stage in your finest bustier and shaking your thang while the crowd goes wild. Fortunately, there's a school where you can train to get your MBA in T&A. At X Burlesque University, you and your girlfriends get a 75-minute afternoon crash course in all aspects of putting on a saucy show. Instruction comes from seasoned performers — the stars of the popular X Burlesque revue at the Flamingo Las Vegas. A makeup tutorial ensures your lips and lashes are sufficiently glittered-up before you get outfitted with a pink boa to learn proper bump ‘n' grind techniques on the very stage where the X Burlesque crew performs at night. (And if you're feeling a little shy, don't worry — while your instructor may be wearing little more than a G-string, you'll be keeping your clothes on.) At the end of the session, you'll be awarded with a souvenir photo and XBU diploma, lest anyone ever question your sexy credentials.
X Burlesque University Background
In a city synonymous with adult-oriented amusements, X Burlesque's topless revue has stood out from the girly-show pack with its combination of eroticism and edginess. Launched in 2002 by entertainment impresarios Matt and Angela Stabile, X Burlesque has become a Vegas late-night institution thanks to a production that's part Victoria's Secret catalog and part heavy-metal concert, with dancers doffing their garments to expertly choreographed sets soundtracked by Led Zeppelin and Metallica. While it made its home at Bugsy's Cabaret inside the Flamingo, X Burlesque has toured casinos all across North and South America. Starting in 2011, the Stabiles introduced X Burlesque University, an afternoon workshop where attendees can learn how to shake it like a proper Vegas showgirl from the show's team of dancers and, since its launch, XBU has become a popular attraction for girls-day-out trips and bachelorette-party gatherings.
