  That's a pretty cool article. They offer some great insights - and they have their own body insecurities as well.

  I'm not sure I would classify "burlesque" as a "sex worker." I know that both the original 1880s thru 1920s Burlesque shows included naked women as often as they could fit them between comics, jugglers, acrobats and singers it in the routines, but - even then - it was framed as "artistic expression," dance and and even comedy. Modern burlesque also avoids openly sexual acts and also focuses on dance and sensuality (plus some comedy).
  
  Calling a burlesque dancer a sex worker is (to me) like calling the girls at an AMP "doctors" because massage is physical therapy which is a medicinal treatment.

  dallas is right; sex workers are people who have sex for money, or at least there's that potential as with a good lap dance. Dancers who give air dances are NOT sex workers.
