fan dancer
Burlesque feather artist
A fan dancer is a performer, usually a woman, who dances while manipulating large feathered fans to create the illusion of nudity while strategically concealing the body.
The art form became famous through burlesque performers like Sally Rand in the 1930s.
Fan dancing can also refer to traditional East Asian dance forms using handheld fans for artistic expression rather than suggestive concealment.
