☆ Nationals will be held in Las Vegas Feb. 20 - 21 2026 ☆

The Golden Legends Skills Challenge (GLSC) is a dynamic performance competition under the Golden Legend Champion Challenge (GLCC) umbrella. Designed to celebrate the craft and technical mastery of burlesque, the GLSC invites established and emerging performers from across the United States to showcase their skills in a series of themed challenges.

Each Regional GLSC event highlights five classic elements of burlesque performance —

• Fans

• Boa

• Chair

• Peels

• Tasseling /Asseling

Competitors may submit one or more acts incorporating these signature skills for a chance to earn base pay, tips, awards, and cash prizes. Winners from each Regional advance to the GLSC Nationals, held annually in Las Vegas, where they compete for national titles and recognition.

Unlike the mentored format of GLCC, the Skills Challenge is a pure performance showdown, offering artists the opportunity to demonstrate their stage presence, creativity, and technical excellence before a live audience and panel of judges.

(Please see details on each Regional when applying - This is not a mentored program like GLCC.)
