Burlesque Boys

Director - 22 mins (Documentary)

Burlesque Boys 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, it’s a creative fusion of dance and acting. As Sid explains, “People would say I’m a stripper but I’m not a stripper. I’m a performer.”
