- in the daylightGlitzy evening-style costumes outdoors in the street.
- Especially when there's a male dancer involved.Orientalism - I feel like such a killjoy but all that sultans and harem girls stuff does not sit well with me.
And I got roped into the Sultan/Harem schtick once - NEVER again!
Yea, it kinda caught me by surprise, and it would have been very awkward to bow out at that particular point in time.Oh goodness! SO sorry you had to deal with that!
No question - I just prefer to dance at nite for this very reason. BD in the daytime just doesn't feel right to me - although I do plenty of it like most every other dancer. But my pref is for nite - preferably late!I don't mind the glitzy costumes during the day, what else is a cabaret dancer going to wear during the day that looks professional? It easily looks unprofessional.
