I see one of our UK belly dance suppliers is now selling a Burlesque instructional DVD: Aladdins Cave PFDVD05

"Princess Farhana will teach you to strut like a showgirl and vamp a la Gypsy Rose Lee in the retro strip tease style" - how can we complain being labelled as strippers when we're blatantly allowing the connection ourselves?

So a belly dancer also performs Burlesque - why does a belly dance supplier need to sell this DVD? There's a Danish belly dancer who's also an airline pilot, if she produced an instructional DVD on how to land a 747 would they also stock that?

This is an interesting article and comments:
