Browsing the internet, I noticed hundreds of pictures, graphics & drawings of Dancers that show beautiful women dressed in outfits that reveal their belly. Mind you, I have nothing against showing skin . . . I appreciate women who are talented enough as well as brave enough to get on a stage to perform this artform known as bellydancing!!!
What SUCKS is teachers who force their "idea" of how you need to be - never allowing you to express your own personal expression. And as well almost making you a clone of themself, they tell you "wear this or you can't participate or perform".
Doesn't that take the joy & fun out of why you are in class?!

Dance is my passion & I believe I learned to Dance before I walked . . . So through the years, of taking ballet, tap, modern, pointe, country & Swing dancing . . . I never allowed anyone tell me I couldn't wear what was comfortable NOR put up with being singled out by being told what I was wearing was 'unappropriate/wrong' for tribal . . .

SO YOU TELL ME . . .
If a teacher told you each week what you were wearing was unappropriate & if you didn't bear your midriff, you weren't allowed to particpate in any class functions!
WHAT would YOU do?
