About this Event

A burlesque show dedicated to the iconic cultural program, Soul Train, the first to prominently feature black American performers on TV.


Doors at 8pm

Show at 9pm

18+ Only


The SOUUULLL TRAIN Burlesque Experience is a show featuring burlesque performers from all over the east coast. If you don't know your history, Soul Train was an American music variety TV show, the first to prominently feature African American musical acts and dancers. Broadcast nationally from 1971 to 2006, it was one of the longest-running syndicated programs in American television history.

You'll feel like you've gone back in time and sitting at a live taping of Soul Train itself as this burlesque show will groove through the decades, from the funky flair of the ’70s, the high-glam energy of the ’80s, to the hip-hop flavor of the ’90s and early 2000s. Bring your best celebration of Black beauty, culture, rhythm, and artistry to the stage as we honor the legendary Soul Train during Black History Month. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll dance, you'll sing, you'll have a good ass time! Get ready to dance and throw money with some of the best company you can find in RVA and beyond.

Doors open at 8 for drinks, 8:30 for seating, show starts at 9pm.

Tickets available now! VIP 4-person tables @ $100 each. VIP 2-person, tall cocktail tables @ $50 each. Reserved seats @ $25 each, not available at the door. General Admission @ $20, $25 at the door.

Tipping your performers is encouraged! Cash is great and will be available, but virtual options will be available as well. We will have some extra ones!
