Showgirl

A showgirl is a female performer in a theatrical revue who wears an exotic and revealing costume and in some shows may appear topless. Showgirls are usually dancers, sometimes performing as chorus girls, burlesque dancers or fan dancers, and many are classically trained with skills in ballet. The term showgirl usage is also sometimes extended by strippers and some strip clubs to use it as part of their business name. The French view the term as an American idiomatic expression.
