Dance, etcd.
Dear Janaki and Moon,
In fact, the dance is sexual, and even the most proclaimed native dancers that I know of are sometimes actually sleazy. I am a dancer who is pretty sexual, but I do not feel that I am sleazy in any way. They are not the same thing.
Sensual is a word used to pretty up something that really does not need to be prettied up. When we start being honest about what we are doing, we will not confuse our public as much and we will not hurt the dance any either.
I am sorry but this conversation reminds me of people who have lunch at Hooters restaurant..... and get pissed off at the pretty girls with their lovely breasts in their cute little t-shirts, The girls are sure sexy alot of the time, in fun and healthy ways, but many people would prefer to think of them as sleazy.
In that case my advice is if you are offended by the nature of the restaurant, why eat there?? I think the same thing is true about the dance. If you are offended by sexuality, then this is not the dance for you, because whether we dress it up or not, the nature of the dance is sexy on purpose. You can dress modestly or like a cheap tart and the dance's nature remains the same.
Regards,
A'isha
