Unfortunately, I must agree with the no-fun folks at the NY Tax Appeals Board:

ALBANY, N.Y. - Is stripping an art?

No way says a New York tax appeals board.

The board was considering a sales tax exemption for the Nite Moves exotic dance club near Albany.

A lower court judge had ruled the strippers were engaged in the "dramatic or musical arts" and qualified for tax-free status.

But the appeals board ruled lap dances and the like can't be considered in same tax bracket as a ballet performance.
