5 stars 5 stars all the way. I am a dancer from Calif. What the author advises you to do, and if you put it to use, you'll make a fortune. Since I purchased the book and read it, my income has skyrocketed. I just read the reviews and this book in my opinion deserves 5 stars.There was one review on Jan 8th though that had to of come from a very jealous, insecure woman,dying in envy and cannot handle another persons success. That is a shame. The Art of Exotic Dancing by Nada Mirat is far from bad, it is excellent! Jelousy is an illness, so I figured I should write an review myself, since I was searching for more books on this author and stumbled upon a bad review.The author not only has the experience in the field researching clubs for 8 yrs, she is full of good advice and stands up for the dancers, whom are often refered to strippers. Nada refers to us as actresses and danceretts. I have learned so much from this woman, and believe that after you read it for yourself will find it fascinating as well.When I first opened this ultra high quality printed book I taught there were at least 5 different models in it, yet to my surprise it was all the author herself, showing many ways to transform yourself so you can cater to any customer-even if he likes blondes and you are a brunette. She quotes "wig it". There is much good to say about this book, but all I want every woman or man out there to know, this book is worth buying and reading. She is my idle. For those of you that may not be aware I also found her website NadaMirat.com Check her out and her accomplishments which she doesn't mention in her book. Also you will get a glimpse of this hot woman for free, although it is not what the book will show you, no full nudes on the site. I hope this helps all the dancers and people interested in the world of dancing. It truly increased my income ten fold. Brooke from California. PS: Nada we want more books. PLEASEEEEEEE!
