The Glamorous Yet Grueling Life of a Showgirl: Insights from Showgirl Bootcamp in Las Vegas

If you’re curious about the real life of a showgirl, it starts in a uniquely demanding way. Picture this: you strap on a wireframe backpack hidden beneath a cascade of glimmering feathers, weighing essentially as much as a toddler clinging to your back—minus the love. Next comes the crown: a towering headpiece adorned with plumes, heavy enough to rival a bowling ball, balanced on your head with the elegance that seems improbable, much like a stack of books precariously teetering at finishing school.

Now, imagine sprinting up narrow staircases, squeezing through doorframes, and performing two meticulously choreographed shows each night, six nights a week—all while maintaining a dazzling smile that exudes joy. The truth swiftly becomes apparent: the life of a showgirl is far from merely prancing around in glitzy costumes; it’s a test of endurance, wrapped up in a dazzling display of rhinestones and sequins.

Life of a Showgirl

I came to understand this firsthand when I attended the Showgirl Bootcamp Experience in southern Las Vegas. Adorned in sequins and feeling somewhat like a walking circus act, I found myself among seasoned professionals who once graced stages worldwide. This two-hour workshop offered a curated glimpse into the illustrious past of showgirls, replete with authentic costumes and theatrical makeup—but even this tantalizing introduction is a gentle prelude to the reality faced by actual showgirls.

Showgirl Bootcamp Experience

Jill Landess, a retired showgirl with two decades of experience, humorously reflects on the costumes of yesteryear. “At the Lido in Paris, we wore backpacks that lit up like a Christmas tree at the flick of a switch,” she recalls. While stunning visually, the heft turned out to be a burden she wished to shed. Today’s showgirls enjoy the luxury of modern technology with LED lights, something that Jill believes today’s performers take for granted— “They don’t know the struggles we went through back then,” she says, all while a familiar tune from Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend plays in the background.

As interest in retro revues sees a revival—with Taylor Swift teasing her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl and Dita Von Teese’s Voltaire burlesque show captivating audiences at The Venetian Resort—the allure of vintage glamour is reigniting in Sin City. While Las Vegas may not have birthed the showgirl, it surely catapulted her into a position of legendary status, crafting an extravagant persona that has surpassed her golden age in the late ’50s to late ’70s.

Training to be a Showgirl

The world of showgirls remains a spellbinding amalgamation of artistry and grueling dedication. With each performance, these talented women carry the rich legacy of this performance art, captivating audiences while navigating the strenuous demands of their craft. And as I emerged from my immersive experience at Showgirl Bootcamp, I carried with me not only the dazzling memories of feathers and sequins but also a profound respect for the women who have donned these vibrant costumes for years, strutting their way into the annals of show business history.
