    Oh wow... goodness I wish I'd seen you dance while I was down thee so I could give you specific advice.

    Can you give me the troupe name? I can look at their stuff & see what style they go for... then maybe be a bit more help.

    I just took a look at their dance videos online. They are more like jazz with stripping, so this really shouldn't be too difficult. However, with that said they are HEAVY on choreography. Unlike stripping or even some burlesque, you can tell that they expect the moves to be pre-planned. Personally, I think that makes it look less dynamic & fun - but it seems to be their style. Here's my suggestion:

    1.) Pick a new song that includes lyrics with a bit of an old school feel. Most of their videos had music like this & you want to appeal to what they are already into.

    2.) I'm sure you already know this, but your costume should match the music. If your song involves a genie you'll want to dress the part.

    3.) Check out jazz videos on youtube for choreography ideas. I'm not fully sure how this troupe is, but be aware that many burlesque troupes look down on dancers that actually touch their own bodies. You need to make it look like your hands are following the curves of our body without actually touching.

    4.) Be prepared when you go onstage, use lots of facial expressions, & when you end your number have a pose to go into.

    Hmmm - remind me about this. That's a nice time of year... maybe I could make it down there and do a trip to the sand dunes & such after.

    If things go south, always just act confident, make eye contact, and smile a lot like you're having the time of your life. This way, even if you suck, you'll be entertaining.
