BUSHWICK — It's time to get sensual with Kate Bush again — the annual Kate Bush burlesque show is happening on Tuesday.

The celebration of the British pop artist is in its fourth year, with this year's taking place shortly after the songstress's July 30 birthday.

"Bushwick Burlesque: Kate Bushwick" will be at Bizarre Bushwick, at 12 Jefferson St. on Tuesday Aug. 3.

"This Leo Woman’s Work has inspired so many songs and dances into The Sensual World, so them Heavy People are showing a little devotion through burlesque!" the event description says. "This fourth annual Kate Bush Burlesque promises to be a Strange Phenomena with all new leotarded shenanigans to entice your Lionheart."

Seven burlesque performers are slated to perform for the evening — and attendees can expect them to take cues from all things Kate Bush.

Several dancers interviewed last year about the event by Next Magazine said they loved the artist and were inspired by her performances.

"She was pure permission to be weird and beautiful at once," performer Gabrielle St. Evensen said.

"Pop songs about séances with Houdini, Hammer horror films, Victorian novels, and illicit love affairs,” said performer Poison Eve. "What's not to love?"

Doors to the show open at 8 p.m., and the show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are free, with a suggested donation of $7.
