exotic dance
Burlesque club act
Exotic dance is a euphemism for striptease or erotic dancing, typically performed in clubs for paying customers.
The term sounds more respectable than stripper on a résumé or in conversation: She worked as an exotic dancer to pay for college.
The phrase can also refer to dance forms from non-Western cultures, though this usage is less common today.
