kungfubellydancer Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I don't know how Vegas could be Vegas without a belly dance troupe, or at least, have outfits for such a troupe. I would make this myself but I'm unfamiliar with how to make nifs....so, here's what a good belly dance store would contain: -Egyptian/Cabaret style dress-Turkish style dress-Saidi style dress-Tribal style dress Cabaret:-Usually one color or like colors-tight-fitted skirt-embroidered beading, but few dangling beads-long scarf optional, but headband recommendedExamples:http://www.bellydanceintensive.com/img_gallery//Salome_sm.jpghttp://www.roxalot.us/amara/amara_1.jpghttp://www.orientaldivas.ch/images/divasaufreisen/woo2009/orientaldivas_jillina_g.jpg Turkish:-Similar to Cabaret in style, with a few exceptions-Belt is usually seperate from the skirt, and belt and bra have lots of sequins; dangling beads-Skirt is typically flows more, made of chiffon-Colors are usually dual and contrast each other wellExamples:http://www.dancingrahana.com/images/products/detail/costume270iso.jpghttp://www.bellydance.org/articles/articles_images/Ansuya_BD.jpghttp://www.lareinagoddesswear.com/store/images/uploads/costume-queen-diamond-1(1).jpg Saidi:-More traditional than the showy Cabaret or Turkish-Wears a robe or dress, with a bra, alone, or with a hipscarf-Usually an accessory is used such as a stick, cane, or sword-Sometimes a turban or egyptian beaded coif is worn-Colors can be bright or settle, and patterns can be elaborate or traditional.Examples:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3306/3317683769_da1b416dbd.jpghttp://www.bellydancechicago.com/sitebuilder/images/saidi-225x323.jpg Tribal:-Inspired from traditional tribes of the middle-east and surrounding areas-Colors are dark and earthy-Few or no sequins; most embellisments are old coins, shells, and feathers-The hair can be worn up or down, and when worn up, decorated with many things.Examples:http://www.chandnitribe.net/sitebuilder/images/tique2-289x441.jpghttp://www.mangodance.com.au/Mango%20Dance%20Productions/images/tribal_bellydance_hil.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
