I've taken classes with a woman named Jo Weldon at her New York School of Burlesque. Obviously, that's not Northern California. But I think dancers/teachers form enough of a community nationally that if you emailed her and asked her about instruction out where you are, she might be able to...

I think it's unfair to expect Dita or anyone else to represent a "collective us" In the modern vintage scene, different people are into it for different reasons. Some just like the clothes or just the music or just the movies. And some consider it an immersive lifestyle. Some are into it for...
