Faith Bacon even though it was Sally Rand to make the fan dance popular it was Faith who orignated the dance. The Fan dance is not a Striptease; it's as graceful as the ballet. The dancer appears with two huge ostrich feathers fans, one in each hand. These fans are adroitly placed at all times; they cover and they reveal at the whim of the dancer. There's always flesh exposed in this dance, but fleetingly - and with fans swooping hither and yon, the audience must feel like a peeping tom in the middle of an ostrich farm.
