At the start of the coronavirus pandemic, when strip clubs across the country were shuttering and dancers found themselves abruptly out of work, the Portland, Oregon strip club the Lucky Devil Lounge started a food-delivery service called Boober Eats in order to provide some of its employees work. The concept went viral (and was, in fact, covered by this publication), but local black dancers noticed something odd: its Instagram featured relatively few black dancers.

This wasn’t surprising to some black dancers in Portland, like Cat Hollis and Brianna Cistrunk, who say the club has a reputation for almost exclusively hiring white dancers. “They say they’re a ‘rock ‘n roll club’ [which means] they only hire a certain aesthetic,” Cistrunk says. “It’s an unspoken thing but it’s very well-known among most girls.” This perception was magnified a few weeks later, following the death of George Floyd, when the club posted a (now-deleted) photo on Instagram of #BlackLivesMatter flags festooning the stage. “There was a huge argument that happened in the comments,” says Hollis. She commented: “There are more #BlackLivesMatter signs than there have ever been black butts on that stage.” (Shon Boulden, owner of the Lucky Devil Lounge, tells Rolling Stone the controversy stemmed from “a lot of misconceptions of how our club operates,” though he acknowledged that only two or three of the club’s 30 dancers are black.”If there ever was the idea that we weren’t open to hiring all ethnicities, I guess I’d just want say, yes of course we do,” he says. “In our hiring, maybe it didn’t look like we were.”)

US singer and choreographer Todrick Hall has delighted many of his fans with a revealing Instagram image.

Yesterday he treated his 1.3million followers to a photo of him lying naked, chest down on a swimming pool float, showing off his – unquestionably – beefy butt.

‘DO I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION? It’s big huh?’ ran the accompanying caption.

BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing finally hosted a same-sex dance routine for the first time.

The dance number was performed by the show’s professionals, a change from the mixed-sex status quo.

The brightest (and fiercest) witch of her age is back.

The eight remaining contestants on So You Think You Can Dance performed together last night to RuPaul’s “Call Me Mother” and the result is fantastic. Choreographed by Mark Kanemura, the production is a visual delight.
