'Barlesque' launches at Sidetrack

On Sept. 1 at Northalsted/Boystown nightspot Sidetrack, Barlesque kicked off. Nightlife figure Khloe Daniels hosted, introducing this year’s bars, performers and choreographers.

Barlesque brings Chicago nightlife superstars, local bars and professional dance communities together to support local HIV/AIDS agency TPAN.

Six Chicago nightlife venues will each select a representative to be its performer. Bars and performers will have September for fundraising for TPAN, including at least one event at the venue.

A final ticketed performance will take place Friday, Sept. 30, at the Center on Halsted, 7-9:30 p.m.
