The New York Court of Appeals heard arguments over whether Nite Moves in Albany can claim a dramatic or musical arts tax exemption for admission and lap dances. The club seeks tax relief amid about 400000 in back taxes, while state officials say nudity and lack of choreography disqualify the exemption. The ruling could affect 150 to 200 adult clubs statewide.
