Excerpt from our Tips & Tricks Article:
Why Do We Use Cover-Ups In Belly Dance?
- Respect For Other Performers:
Often bellydancers are performing in group stage shows or public festivals where there may be many performers performing throughout the event. During these events, where dancers may come and go freely or choose to sit in the audience and watch other performers, it is always best to have a cover-up on. It is disrespectful to the performer on stage and distracting to the audience to have a fully costumed dancer mingling with the public. - Keep The Mystery:
You want to create a moment of magic as you enter the stage for the first time adorned in all your finery. The crowd should say “Oooo!” and “Ahhh!” when you come on stage and not “There’s that dancer with the green (or whatever color) costume we saw earlier.” - Privacy & Sophistication:
When we are on stage we are performers and personas. When we are off stage we may also still be in that role, but, to a different capacity. Wearing a cover-up allows the audience to focus on us as humans. They can see that we are transitioning and no longer in the same performing role. We give off an air of dignity in cover-ups. As I once overheard: “Without a cover-up after a show, I feel more like a trick or treater walking around, and not a legitimate sophisticated bellydance performer”.
