| The Brown Girl Burlesque Troupe will be in DC 3/30/12 |
I met up with Honey Chicava last year at the Belly Dancers of Color Conference. Her workshop forced us to release any fears by channeling our inner exhibitionist. She highlighted Eartha Kitt and Josephine Baker for their bravery to take black burlesque performances to new levels. Chicava’s workshops combine an academic analysis of race, gender and bodies with the practical implementation of sensual movement and performance.
