Waking up to the sound of the alarm has got to be the most annoying sound to a dancer. After hitting snooze three times and waiting till the very last second I finally get out of bed. Being that it's 9:20AM and I have rehearsal at 10AM, I quickly jump in the shower and dash to the Flamingo Hotel.
Even though the show has been open for a few weeks, we as dancers, are always trying to better our routines. Under the direction of JJ Villar, we review all our dance numbers, make sure our spacing on stage is perfect, and change anything that needs to be changed to make the routine work.
While all of this is going on, the technical crew is also working hard to light our show so that production value is added. According to the tech crew, in order for the 'lighting to be perfect' they need to test it directly on our bare skin requiring us drop our pants quite often during rehearsal. Sometimes a little too often.

The 'X Show' was created in 2002 and since has developed a world-wide following. The X Girls did a tour of South America in Santiago, Chile and Bogotá and Cali, Columbia last year. The X Show has also performed across the US from Lake Tahoe, Cal., Ute Mountain, Col. to the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. They are scheduled to perform in Laughlin, Nev. in April and Lac du Flambeau, Wis. in August.
'X Burlesque' is now playing at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. The Flamingo president, Don Marrandino, known as the man with the Midas touch, brought the sexy revue to the famed resort. "The X Girls are a talented group of gorgeous dancers and their new Burlesque project brings an energetic and sexy production to the resort."
