Welcome to Velvet Allure Cabaret—a sanctuary of sensuality, storytelling, and unapologetic expression. Rooted in the rich traditions of burlesque and blossoming into a bold, contemporary variety show, our cabaret celebrates the power, poise, and passion of performance art in all its forms.

We curate unforgettable nights of sultry striptease, aerial artistry, fire play, live vocals, poetry, kink performance, and more. Every show is an immersive experience where desire meets discipline, and fantasy takes center stage.

Based in the heart of the DMV, Velvet Allure is home to a collective of boundary-breaking performers from across the spectrum of movement and identity. We honor the legacy of burlesque while pushing it forward—uplifting voices often left in the wings, especially Black, queer, and body-diverse performers.

Our mission is simple: to seduce, inspire, and ignite. Whether you’re here for the tease, the talent, or the thrill, let Velvet Allure draw you in—and leave you craving more.
