Magic Mike On Empowering Women, Dating &...

Kornelija Collins
About this episode

 #51 In this week’s Boujee Best Friend episode, I am joined by my friend Kat Saenz as we interview Magic Mike Dancers Kalon Badenhorst and Burim Jusufi. I wanted to welcome our Magic Mike guests onto the show because I am so impressed with everything they do! There can be many misconceptions about the Magic Mike shows. It is so much more than guys just dancing with their clothes off. They are changing people’s lives by giving women confidence, respecting them and allowing women to express themselves.

In this episode, we dive into the world of the Magic Mike show and explore how it empowers women while showcasing some of the most talented male dancers in the industry. We discuss the criteria these performers must meet and what women really want from the show. We also explore how the dancers choose women to come on stage and how they interact with the audience.


We also answer burning questions from our Boujee Besties from the WWKD segment, including what it's like to date as a Magic Mike dancer?

Join us for an enlightening conversation about the Magic Mike show and the positive impact it has on women everywhere.
