Thanks honey. You know it's just typical that these statements are all made in ignorance. No one came to actually see Shimmy Shake and how tasteful and theatrical the burlesque element was. I can tell you now that no-one in the audience had a problem with it at all and the majority were belly dancing students and performers!

Also, since the show I've been flooded with belly dancers asking to perform at the next one so clearly they don't see it as damaging to their careers!

I can't believe the furor this continues to create! I just keep reminding myself that Madonna has had her fair share of controversy in her career and look where she is today!
