As far as Supersitions go.. White for VERY confidant dancers only.. Kind of like you earned it.. is what my teacher says.
Fo me - no black or really dark colors, They just seem to not look good. I like pink and the brighter the better ! I used to hate orange until I mixed it with a pink bra and belt ! Now it is one of my favorite costumes. Also this year Belly Dancer USA costume is pink and lime green. Contrasting colors really pop on stage
