There are two kinds of exotic dancing: on the one hand,
there's the kind you'll find in a Chinatown
strip club, where hot chicks twirl to the screeching guitars of Def Leppard and
White Snake songs and the notion of "craft" is a little questionable. Then
there's the kind you'll learn today at the
Boston Center for Adult Education
(122 Arlington Street,
Boston, 617.267.4430) from 2 to 5
p.m. Under the tutelage of local burlesque babe
Honey Suckle Duvet,
students in
The Art of Exotic Dancing class will learn to
shimmy, shake, and set the mood to different forms of music with a certain
amount of style, grace, and, yeah, naughty wonderment. And Duvet's dedication
to embracing different body types (she sometimes runs Better Body Image
workshops) is sure to provide a little empowerment while you work your
endowments. Sign up for the class ($45/$35 members) at bcae.org.
