I think there are dancers who make a living from restaurant and night club dancing and maybe but not necessarily teaching but don't hafla dance nor do theatre for whom "designer ware" is totally innappropriate.
What does a restauranteur or night club owner expect?..a nice bedlah with lots of sparkle and lots of fringe.
In you are in that sphere of belly dance, then your public would be disappointed if you wore anything else. A lycra 2 piece or dress what!!!!!!! might be the reaction.
And Zaf is right, these ladies don't necessarily mix with the teachers and students and "luminaries", they are " warriors for the working day" and best clad in the kind of costume which is expected.
And all power to their elbow. It's hard way to make a living but they are belly dancing for it which is more than most of us can say. K
