Erotic dancing

Erotic dancing

Erotic dance is a major category or classification of dance forms or dance styles, where the purpose is the stimulation or arousal of erotic or sexual thoughts or actions.

This compares to other major dance categories based on purpose, such as ceremonial dance, competitive dance, participation dance, performance dance and social dance.

The erotic dancer's clothing is often minimal, and may be gradually decreased or eliminated altogether. In some areas of the United States, it is illegal for the female dancer to expose her genitalia. These dancers will often wear g-strings.

Nudity, however, is not a requirement of erotic dance. The culture and the ability of the human body is a significant aesthetic component in many dance styles.

Erotic dances include the following dance forms or styles:
* Can-can
* Cage dance
* Go-go dance
* Mujra
* Sexercise
* Striptease
** Pole dance
** Bubble dance
** Fan dance
** Gown-and-glove dance
** Lap dance

*** Contact dance

** Dance of the seven veils
** Table dance
