The word "burlesque" comes from the Italian burla, which means a joke, although it may come from the French word burlesque itself, which indicates a piece of art that is ridiculous and slightly outrageous, most of the time in a funny way. Entertainment of broad and periodic humor, which usually consists of comic skits and a strip tease. With its origins in nineteenth century vaudeville, in the early twentieth century burlesque emerged as a populist blend of entertainment, that featured strip tease and broad comedy acts that derived their name from the low comedy aspects of the literary genre known as Burlesque. Classic Burlesque stars of the 20 century like Gypsy Rose Lee set the standards for the industry for many years to come and her style and technique are still the bases for many Neo Burlesque Dancers today. Today New Burlesque has taken many forms, but all have the common trait of honoring one or more of burlesque's previous incarnations with acts including striptease, expensive costumes, bawdy humor, and more.
