Exotic Dance

Class of EXOTIC DANCES traditional movements of 50's burlesque dancers : isolations, hip ondulations, shimmies, bump&grind.

Very sexy dance without strip from a time when stripping was forbidden in USA and strippers had to create a new way of sexy Shows.

Some girls used to be under arrested because their dances used to be so suggestive that guys had to suffer from heart injury because of to much emotion ...

Beware of thigh muscle soreness !

Students can bring oriental fringed bra or belt.
