    Maybe they worded the class this way to aviod the HORNEY MEN from hanging around and getting the wrong idea about what goes on in the class??

    I know licensed massage therapists who practice theraputic massage, but still get calls from horney men looking for hookers .

    Yes, the class wording seems over the top, but if the instructors were getting harassed by men to be strippers, I can totally see why this disclaimer would need to be there. And sure, the most uptight of students may need a little reassurance, as well as any younger students (under 18 years).

    Being a housewife isn't degrading. It's society's view of housewives that is negative. (ie: they sit on their ass all day and use someone else's hard earned money, blah blah blah) Housewives do a shitload of work, they just don't get paid for it. However, if a woman chooses to stay at home and manage things there, it is her choice and should be respected. The only thing that would be degrading would be a person attempting to force their S.O. to stay home because they felt that it was their "place".

    Because having kids automatically means you know how to care about them. *cough*Andrea Yates*cough*

    The thing I don't get is the part which says that the moves taught in the class do not reflect the moves of actual strippers.

    If that is the case then why are they advertising it as a "striptease" class?

Not all studio dancers realize there is an art to striptease. It's not all bump and grind. It's very methodical and takes a bit of talent. Not everyone can be a stripper.
    As a "studio dancer" I'll put in my 2 cents

    I acknowledge exotic dance is dance... by my definition, dancing is the act of moving beautifully to music and exotic dance fits with that

    But as a partner dance instructor I can see where snobbery comes from. I don't have a particularly good (male) body, so I hardly get mistaken for a stripper when I tell people I'm a "dancer". But the more that strippers are called "dancers", the more the word "dancer" will carry connotations of stripping. Which, for better or worse, in the prevailing culture at present is not a good thing for us dancers.

    Cest la vie

    But the thought of offering striptease classes that don't teach moves reflecting those of actual strippers is absurd. *Possibly* you could have a professional dancer learn and teach striptease moves, but why would you do that anyway? If I took an exotic dance class then I want to learn from an exotic dance professional who is also trained to teach dance.
