Male Strippers Fighting for Recognition in Australia: Burlesque Boys
VICE follows Sid, owner and choreographer of Australian erotic dance group MenXclusive in a behind the scenes look at male erotic dancing. These are men who show up to hens celebrations dressed as cops or airline pilots and put on a burlesque show for the bridesmaids. And although you might assume this scene is all about gym sessions and protein powder, for many of them, its a creative fusion of dance and acting. As Sid explains, People would say Im a stripper but Im not a stripper. Im a performer. In the latest episode of VICEs Australiana, we examine the high pressure world of male erotic dancing: the sense of solidarity between performers, the tantrums, and most intriguingly, the lead choreographer s constant struggle for artistic credibility.
