I think some students wear their pretties to class because it is the only chance they get to dress up. QUOTE]
I can relate to that!
PS. Gabi you really are showing rather too much interest in people's slutty tops and skirts...
Whaddaya expect from someone who defends the stripper belly dancers
Clothes make the dancer?
- Thread starter Moon
- Start date
I don't care if they show up in a bedlah, it was just a too slutty one. Another girl had a nice black and silver one with a more modest dress and I'd rather seen the teacher giving her a nice comment on her clothes instead of the "slutty-dressed" girl. But well, you can't have anything
If my teacher really liked it she has a really bad taste
Unless the student shows up in this and your teacher compliments her, don't worry

Teachers influence?
I do believe, from previous experience, that the teacher can have a large influence on how quickly a student buys her first "professional" costume.
I try to be an example for my students, no cabaret costume or skirts in class, unless specifically stated. (I think its important that they can see my legs, knees, feet & vice versa).
They often start to be tempted to buy a costume or expensive bra & belt when they browse around my studios small shop but I tend to halt them (not very good for the business but..) with the question - where does the next step go........if they buy a costume for 300€ after one semester?
"Shwaiwe,shwaie..."
one step at a time......& not just in technical terms .-)
Have a nice day & happy dancing,

Aargh!
If a student shows up wearing that, I'm allowed to start laughing really hard, right in her face without feeling guilty, right?
Well, if I wore it and you didn't laugh I'd consider it a failure

I don't know whether it's because of the style my troupe does or what, but the requirements for classwear is a full skirt (circle of three tier) and a choli. Before I had the choli I used to wear tank tops which I'd tuck up from the bottom underneath my bra.
Personally, I have got so used to this in class and with all the rest of the girls also wearing similiar (and wearing their tribal belts and jewellery) that it feels normal. I think I would feel out of place in class if I wasn't in that get up (skirt, belt & choli).
When I'm at home, practising, it's whatever I'm wearing at the time the urge strikes (including my Pjs!!). For performance though, I always notice that when I'm fully dresssed (costume, headpiece, jewllery, makeup) I feel SO much more like a proper dancer and I recognise for myself that I am a bellydancer. As soon as I take pieces off (the jewellery for eg, or the make-up) I start to revert to my usual 20-something uni student.
Kind of like Cinderella dressed for the ball, before going back to her ordinary life!!
