Brown Girls Bur­lesque is a com­pany of women of color ded­i­cated to cre­at­ing their own reflec­tion in the art form of bur­lesque using whimsy and the the­atri­cal depth. BGB stands out in the crowded space of the neo-burlesque move­ment by cir­cum­vent­ing the clas­si­cal and new school inter­pre­ta­tions of bur­lesque by blend­ing cul­tural tra­di­tions, expe­ri­ences, and a dis­tinc­tive artis­tic aesthetic.
