Is bellydancing like stripping?
No, and that’s why I don’t work bachelor parties unless we’re all VERY clear on that concept. My costumes are modest by some standards- while I am happy to show off my belly, arms, and sometimes legs, all naughty bits are completely covered, and remain so for the duration of my show. We don’t sit on laps. We do not remove our tops (or anything else!) on request. And no, you’re not allowed to touch the dancer!
