So true. I'm involved with a belly dancing group at my university, but I don't go with them to their 'performances' at various functions because a) hijabi dancing in front of a bunch of strange men? uh, no thanks... :p and b) I don't like how they sex it up so much. Belly dancing is a women's dance, so I like to keep it just for the ladies! :) It's so fun, and such great exercise too. I'd definitely recommend it. (AND you get to wear a jingly scarf around your hips! Woo! :p) “Western media is keen to portray belly dancing in it’s most compromised angle, with skimpy costumes and provocative movement.”
