Neo-Burlesque, Sideshow, Circus Arts, Pole Dancing, Drag & Other Alternative Variety Acts

Neo-burlesque is where burlesque performers can let their creativity and individuality shine with acts that are more than just bumping and grinding. Xena has dozens of original variety acts of all sorts from drag lip-syncs to sideshow stunts to pole dancing.

Xena's neo-burlesque acts often have a dark edge, incorporating elements of sideshow and fetish or occult-inspired costumes, such as their demon sorceress act where they drinks hot wax or the act where they escape from a white PVC straitjacket catsuit to reveal a pentagram thong underneath. Their skills of daring include grinder performances (shooting sparks off a metal chastity belt with an angle grinder), snake charming (where they dance or pose & entertain guests with their pet ball python, Oblina), balloon swallowing, glass walking, bed of nails, stapling, hot wax play, snake dancing, cigarette eating, and more. You can catch Xena performing these acts most often at Inferno Burlesque, a regular feature burlesque and variety show at House of Blues in New Orleans.

However, they also enjoy creating lighter, more comedic acts, such as drag king acts (see their Ozzy Osborne act where they bite the head off a stuffed bat that's filled with spaghetti), hyper drag or bio drag queen acts such as their Taylor Swift acts at Trixie Minx's Swifty Burlesque Brunch at the Virgin Hotel, the "Be Our Guest" number they created for "Take It Off Broadway," The Society of Sin's burlesque ode to their favorite Broadway musicals where Xena wears a table skirt adorned with food and drink, which they pass out to the crowd before they begin the striptease.
