Dear Group,
I have seen both male and female dancers wear costuming that is wonderful and sometimes not so wonderful... In my opinion most of the costumes worn by one of my very favorite dancers were terrible. Suhair Zaki used to wear stuff that made me wish her costumer could be put t bed and made to lay there and review every costume she ever put the poor lady in until she died of embarrassment!
Men and women both have costume faux pais, and I think that one man's ( or woman's) trash is another's treasure in the costume department. I once saw Bobby Farrah perform in a Beledi dress. So many people in the audience were disgruntled by his costume choice, but I thought it was a good choice for him and he danced really well that night. Though great costuming helps, I think that in the long run, that is a matter of personal taste, certainly, and does not affect the quality of the dance for me.
