The World Famous Pontani Sisters
They are originally from The Burg now in Coney Island.
From their website:
Recently named the #1 Burlesque attraction in the USA by AOL.com!
The World Famous Pontani Sisters are a trio of choreographed cuties
circling the globe on a quest to bring glamour back to entertainment!
These siblings jump started their performance career early,
performing for family and friends by dancing on picnic tables!
With a Frank Sinatra 8-track as accompaniment, and spaghetti as
their pay, the Sisters developed a love for performance! Now,
years later, they tour the world as one of the pioneering forces
of the new Burlesque, spreading their glamour gospel and bringing
classic Burlesque sass back to the best venues on earth!
Their innovative performance repertoire boasts over 40 routines!
Whether twirling gold lassos in their rhinestone cowgirl costumes,
slithering on black cafe chairs in sparkling sequin Italian
Princess threads or shimmying and shaking in fringe, everything
the Sisters do is dipped in glamour. Their costumes and precision
choreography, which is worthy of the heroic Busby Berkely.
The Sisters have garnered rave reviews in countless leading
national and international publications. Their high-kicks,
syncopated taps and sizzling shimmies have dazzled discerning
audiences everywhere, from their beloved Coney Island to the
glittering lights of Hollywood! Their stage show has been featured
on television programs around the country, including repeat
appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Hi Mack: I'm glad to see that the sisters are trying to bring back the terrific shows of Burlesque. In my younger days, they produced some of the greatest comics and show people in the entertainment business. Beginning with Minsky's and throughout the East, many of our best known stars got their start in Burlesque. I wish them luck in their act to bring back glamour to entertainment. Regards.
Hi Ralph:)
I was going to add the Ponati
Sisters a bit later on but saw
the Pontani Family mentioned in
the comments as owning the
Casa Lido in Downtown Trenton
so I moved it up.
I think they also own Trent Jewelers in Mercerville:)
