At the top of their game, the ladies have seen some rookie mistakes over their years performing as burlesque dancers, here are their Top 8:

ONE

Copying someone else’s act. Biggest. No. No. Ever!

TWO

Using that obscure and depressing song nobody knows, but meant so much to you in year 10.

THREE

Cut off that tampon string!!

FOUR

Putting on your corset before putting on your shoes. Ok, let’s start over…

FIVE

Underwear tag not cut off and sticking out!!! ROOKIE MISTAKE!

SIX

Over-thinking the routine. Burlesque is all about puns and simple storylines. No-one cares about your character’s seven moods and million life stories.

SEVEN

Too much Dutch courage backstage. One drink is enough.

EIGHT

Not wearing false eyelashes. Never go on stage without them!

Club Burlesk performs La Boheme 18 October.
