EXOTIC dancing, once considered seedy perhaps, is taking off on the south coast.

The popularity of burlesque, hoop and pole dancing has rocketed, according to one dancing school in the south.

The school in Bournemouth, run by Miss Fan-Teasy, provides lessons in burlesque dancing where students can gain greater self-esteem and improve their fitness levels.

Miss Fan-Teasy has performed at many celebrations and business events across the region.
