Gentry Lane featured in New York Times: California-born dancer and longtime Paris resident Gentry Lane received a glowing write up in the New York Times’ “Globespotters” section. The entry spotlighted Lane’s growing prominence as a producer of “ambitious and authentic” burlesque reviews in the City of Light.
