The art of burlesque has helped hundreds of women build confidence, get in touch with themselves, and express their sensual sides. The HER2-Revue was created with an emphasis on breast cancer survivors to help them reclaim their lives and feel sexy again as they navigate their new relationships with their bodies after cancer.
