Male Dance Instructor Allegedly Gives "Performance" Clad in Women's Underwear at JC Penney - Ryan Kinsella Alba

Is it art if no one sees it? Is it a dance recital if the only member of the audience is a stunned clerk at JC Penneys? That's the question the district attorney in Milwaukee is asking after several women have complained about Irish dance instructor Ryan Kinsella Alba. And now it appears that it happened not once, but three times over the past four years. Here's more from WISN:
Alba, 24, is best known for his footwork -- he's an accomplished Irish dancer, and often performs with the students he teaches at his Kinsella Academy of Irish Dance.
But earlier this month, Alba made headlines after his encounter with a sales clerk at the Southridge JC Penny store. "He asked me very quietly, do you carry women's thongs," said Michelle Hernandez, a JC Penny clerk. Hernandez, 18, said Alba exposed himself to her in August as he tried on women's thong underwear in the men's dressing room.
"He began jumping up and down to see if it would fit better, he turned around and was looking in the mirror at his butt and said well how do you think it fits?" said Hernandez. "He also asked me if I could adjust his genital part."
Greendale police arrested Alba on a charge of lewd and lascivious behavior and he paid a $1,300 fine for the reduced charge of disorderly conduct.
Sources told 12 News Hernandez's story had a familiar ring for two other sales clerks.
A sales clerk at Southridge's Boston Store described a similar encounter to police but said Alba was trying on women's swimsuits.
The woman told police Alba's conduct so shook her, she even remembered the date -- Nov. 19, 2004.
Her allegations, however, came one week too late for criminal prosecution because in Wisconsin, the legal time limit for charging misdemeanors in Wisconsin is three years.
WISN 12 News has also learned that Monday, a second JC Penny clerk told the district attorney Alba did the same thing to her last March. She declined to talk on camera, but told 12 News when Alba emerged from the dressing room wearing a see-through leopard thong, she called her manager -- but no one ever called police.
