For those of you dying to learn classic burlesque dance routines, check out Honey & Spice, the instructional DVD from performer/blogger Jo Weldon.
I also love that they are primarily a bellydance company, because there’s some historical synchronicity: the company that released Ann Corio‘s How to Strip for Your Husband also produced bellydance music, and at one point released Ann’s album as part of a set with a bellydance how-to album.
The music on How to Strip… was mostly by Sonny Lester and is a large portion of the music on the ubiquitous Striptease Classics.
The music on my DVD is by Ronnie Magri. I’ll be posting my interview with him shortly. Ronnie is AMAZING!
