dead_doll_dancers s the Mcgill tribune describes us:The paradox of the Dead Dolls places them in an odd chasm between the old and the new-they pair macabre and sexy; they seduce
About me: The Dead Doll Dancers are known for being Montreal's raunchiest troupe of dancing girls.
Having been spawned from Travesty Theatres' infamous Dead Doll Cabarets.
Who I'd like to meet: radical cheerleaders, roller babes
Now some info on us:
The Dead Doll Dancers are a part of Travesty Theatre,which has been instrumental in bringing live entertainment in Montreal to new lows. Heck we are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to talent. But hey we have got great legs ,smiles and some of us have amazing boobs poppin' out!
The Dead Dolls are probably best known for all the naughty things they do dancing with props and with each other.Traditional retro burlesque is not what we would be described as ...yet... within the choreographies ,one always see a glimmer of a vaudeville dance step or a whisper of a 'classic burlesque ' element .
Since February 2000, Montreal’s “world famous” Dead Doll Dancers have been seductively scandalizing audiences with their brand of hyper-sexualized, modern burlesque. Blending elements of vaudeville, traditional burlesque, hip-hop and sketch comedy, they aim to parody boring, conventional sexiness by presenting their own version of theatrical naughtiness.
Strategically clad in badass red and black, these delinquent dollies revel in the macabre, and flaunting their bloody battle-scars and sparkling red lips, the Dead Dolls offer a delectably lurid treat for everyone from the not-so-queer to the queerest of queer.
Specializing in raucous on-stage orgies, energetic group choreographies, whipping, scratching and humping, their deliciously distasteful debauchery is sure to excite and amaze.
