I agree with jenc here. I think the dances can be confused (I had someone ask me to teach hula, for instance, to kids this summer because bellydance seemed too lascivious and they didn't seem to realize that I didn't know how to hula just because I was from Hawai'i and was a bellydancer).
Secondly, I don't understand why people don't see hula as a potentially scandalous dance and bellydance to be so. There are several hulas specifically about making love...strange how things are viewed so differently.
