I wonder if "bizarre" could be referred to "erotic dance"? actually I
am not sure, I just heard (maybe misheard) conversations in a movie
that one asks "what do you do?", the other said "I am a dancer". Then,
"Ballet?", "No, bizarre".

"Bizarre" means "strange", "weird", "odd", "outlandish" etc. However,
other than being associated with those normal meanings, I have no idea
what a "bizarre dance" is. Do a Google on "bizarre dancer", and have a
look at the YouTube videos!

Could it have been "burlesque"? That does mean "erotic dancer" in
some places (although it means other things as well).

Ian - I am sure I could tell belly and ballet. :)))
about bizarre dancer, it's simply my guess.
I heard it and could not rewind it because I was not watching a DCD,
but a movie on local TV channel.
Kevin
David. Many thanks. I will keep in mind this word.
I am not sure, but it is highly probable, since the word and its sound
fit well.
BTW, about the movie, it's "independent day", aliens came to the
earth. The woman who saved the first lady was asked what does she do?
she said she is a dancer.

The transcript of the script on this page says "erotic".

So, what do yo do for a living?
JASMINE
I'm a dancer.
MARGARET
Really? Ballet?
JASMINE
(laughs)
No. Exotic.
MARGARET
Oh. Sorry.

David
Hmmm, I obviously meant "exotic".

David
I've never seen "bizarre" used as a synonym for "erotic"; although
depending on the context of the overall conversation, it might be a
considered a euphemism for erotic.

Are there bazaar dancers? As in, someone who dances to attract people
to a particular market related event with a fair /fairground
atmosphere.
Ah, I had missed this reply.
I would think that a "bazaar dancer" might be a "belly dancer" - all
very "exotic"!

Ian
I've not heard it either, but it wouldn't surprise me, in much the same
way as dealers in old books refer in their catalogues to "curious
plates", meaning "obscene pictures".

I have a 17-year old neighbor who wants to be a bizarre bazaar belly
ballet erotic exotic dancer. What should I tell her?
--
Posters should say where they live, and for which area
they are asking questions. I was born and then lived in
Western Pa. 10 years
Indianapolis 7 years
Chicago 6 years
Brooklyn, NY 12 years
Baltimore 26 years
--which is used precisely as a euphemism for "erotic" in this context.

Dunno.... But will she be able to drive the audience ecstatic?
--
Ian
And (as an afterthought) what happens if her performances are erratic?
Could an erratic erotic exotic bizarre bazaar belly ballet dancer drive
her audience ecstatic?

Ian
OH many thanks and how brilliant you are to be able to find the
transcript.
A friend suggested me to IMdb, but I could not find it.
BTW, my ear really have severe listening problem, judging from this
case. :)

That's she's under age and you're going to report her to her
parents. Sheesh.

She wants to be that in the future. I think she wants to go to
medical school first.
