  • Maria is right: as a belly dancer you are nothing without your female audience and men-sorry guys!-are the last ones who should get the attention....

  • The sound is layered here, so it creates an echo....any chance of fixing that????

  • "pass basket.. "offerings" "

    actually, other artists like open air dancers or singers or circus artists do the same and pass a basket..

    so it is done for instance for singers at some weddings or parties.. i do not see anything bad in that!! it s not begging or sth, this is done by many artists..

  • to be honest, it IS. both in turkey and in the MidEast, and  more often than not, if it could be ambiguous, the guys flip money in the air (like have a bunch of notes - and make them "rain" on the dancer), as the other girl said often children give it.

    Of course (MIdeastern) men sometimes do it, and sometimes they are givin dirty looks - and i personally feel uncomfortable then, also for the dancer. Nevertheless, the tippin is a pure Mideastern tradition, it s more respect for the dancer s show!

  • This is just a small representation of that section of the DVD.  We interviewed dancers who do not believe in taking tips in their costume also.

  • hmm i m indecisive about what to think of this - on the one hand, i feel puritanism has always limited women. but there again so has the image of the "woman good" to be purchased on the market u understand? i ve always at the same time felt uncomfortable with the money on the costume. Would u give a musician or singer whose performance u have appreciated tips in the pants or shirt??? dont think so. its about sellin out women i feel.. salam

  • cool, I love restaurant dancing. Will be great to see a video about it.

  • very interesting-wanna have!

  • At the Cedars, the lady co-owner told me it was against the law in that county. When did the belly dance get taken over by such prudes?!?!?!?!?

  • Very important, as described in the book

    "The Compleat Belly Dancer" by Julie Russo Mishkin

    I've stopped going to The Cedars of Lebanon restaurant in Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as the Utah Belly Dance Festival, since the belly dancers stopped taking tips in their costumes.

    At the festival, I was told that was too much like what strippers do. So they passed a basket as if taking tithes and offerings in a church.
