Tré Da Marc

Notes the website Canvas Rebel:

Hailing from Minneapolis, MN, Tré Da Marc is an international boylesque sensation that cannot be duplicated. Known for his trademark combination of sass and ass, he is ready to leave his stamp (and a fair amount of glitter and sweat) on any stage he meets. He is a cast member of Black Hearts Burlesque and Sovereign Tease Productions locally in the Twin Cities.

This multi-award-winning performer began his burlesque career in August 2013, at the Nudie Nubie Amateur Reveal Show where he won that month’s Nubie competition. Since then, he has performed in more than 40 festivals around the world, being featured internationally at the Vienna Boylesque Festival and the 2016 Amsterdam Burlesque Awards.

They competed in the 2018 Mr. Exotic World/Best Boylesque Category at the Burlesque Hall Of Fame in Las Vegas. He was crowned King of Burlesque at the Noire Pageant in 2020 and was voted one of the Top 50 most influential burlesque industry figures of 2020-2022, by thousands of burlesque peers and fans worldwide.

Says Tré Da Marc:

For over 10 years Burlesque has been the art form that has saved my life from the world and honestly myself. It's been an honor to have been mentored by such amazing Black Burlesque performs as Foxy Tann, Redbone and Perle Noiré. What I have learned from performing and making a career via this art form is how to accept self-love, self worth, and self care, and how to build a community to be free in. Not only did I learn how to be a sexy and beautiful dancer, but I really did learn how to accept myself for who I am, to know my self worth and not settle; and to really take pride in myself and the life I have.

These skills connect me to people who share a similar journey and bonded to grow whether it backstage or out in the audience. I am so happy to be creating experiences for people to be able to experience joy through the lens of Burlesque entertainment.

On Your Shore

Strange how my heart beats
To find myself upon your shore
Strange how I still feel
My loss of comfort gone before

Cool waves wash over
And drift away with dreams of youth
So time is stolen
I cannot hold you long enough

And so this is where I should be now
Days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me
I know of a dream I should be holding
Days and nights falling by
Days and nights falling by me

. . . Strange how I falter
To find I’m standing in deep water
Strange how my heart beats
To find I’m standing on your shore
