fan dancing
Concealing burlesque art
Fan dancing is a performance art where dancers use large feathers or fabric fans as props, manipulating them in choreographed movements.
The style originated in both East Asian classical dance and Western burlesque traditions.
In burlesque, fan dancing typically involves strategic placement of oversized feathered fans to create the illusion of nudity while concealing the body: Sally Rand made fan dancing famous at the 1933 World's Fair.
