Roxana Sand was an erotic dancer and fan dancer whose performance at Minsky's Burlesque, in August 1936, resulted in a crackdown on burlesque shows in New York City. She was one of five dancers who performed strip-tease acts, which led to the conviction of Sam Krauss, manager of the Gotham Theatre, East 125th Street (Manhattan), for giving an indecent performance. The theatre was owned by Abe Minsky. Minsky's was soon closed along with other burlesque venues by protests from citizen's groups and the reform administration of Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.
