Burlesque can be better than therapy. But there’s a caveat. 🚨
There is a difference between a private act that helps us process emotions, trauma or hidden parts of ourselves… and a burlesque performance created for a live audience. One can be completely raw, intimate and just for YOU. The other becomes a shared experience the moment you step on stage. 💃🏻🕺🏻
I believe both are valuable. In fact, some of the most healing moments in burlesque happen away from the spotlight. 💔❤️🩹 But if we want to become performers, we also need to remember that burlesque is an art form – one that invites the audience into our world instead of asking them to carry our pain for us.
