Yesterday was Cal State Dominguez Hills' Health Fair. Of course, the belly dancers were asked and expected to perform. I was first. Me and my sword. It went ok. Good thing I never have to do that solo again. It was at noon, so of course the sun was beaming down on us. That also means the ground was hot. I wore ballet shoes, which ripped, but oh well.
It was nice to see to lots of dancers came ready with safety pins. Unfortunately, not all the dancers came prepared with extra shorts. It is important for a dancer (especially a belly dancer) to make sure her vag won't be seen by an entire crowd. So there we were, shimming and twirling and poof, underwear. or poof pubic hair. That is not kosher. It's just not. For no reason should a person be able to see your pubis. None at all.
So here is a little advice: wear underwear, but also wear shorts. Actual shorts. Doesn't matter if they are some neutral color that has nothing to do with your costume (black, white, grey, brown, nude), wear them. Bring pins and pin underwear to your shorts to your skirt. Then pin your skirt to your belt.
Belly dancing can be a sensual dance. Don't make it a skany one.
