{{Main|Neo-Burlesque}}
In the latter 1990s, a number of solo performers and dance groups emerged to create [[Neo-burlesque]], a revival of the classic [[American burlesque]] striptease of the early half of the 20th century. New Burlesque focuses on dancing, costumes and entertainment (which may include comedy and singing) and generally eschews full nudity or toplessness. Some burlesquers of the past have become instructors and mentors to New Burlesque performers such as [[:fr:The Velvet Hammer Burlesque|The Velvet Hammer Burlesque]] and [[The World Famous Pontani Sisters]].{{citation needed|date=December 2010}} The pop group [[Pussycat Dolls]] began as a New Burlesque troupe.
