Not usually in dance.

The point of the analysis is that he is a peformer, and he did ask for it soon as he went out to perform in public.

Ok, fine. I wasnt sure and I did say this. If he was a guy who was in training and was filmed at a haflah, then there is no point in being hard on him.

Regards to being uncovered as "haram" in Islam, ***shock*** Christians in Egypt find being uncovered inappropriate, too! In general, Egyptian people are religous, this includes Christians, they go to church 3 times a week and fast 200 days out of the entire year. And I don't think any of the religions say it's okay to walk around naked.
Of course cultural upbringing (or the lack of) plays a role as well in what people perceive not to be appropriate. There are many Westerners that do not grow up with any culture or traditions. Therefore, nothing is seen as "3aib", I'm not sure if this word even translates into english. Culturally "Shameful" would be close but it doesn't give the exact meaning.

Yes, I know but this is a dance forum and we are talking about dance costumes. Both men and women wear far less, including Arabs who dance in the Arab world.

"Arabs" in the West, just like "Arabs" in the East, cannot be all lumped into the same category. Some imigrants (especially 2nd and 3th generations) become fully integrated into the society of the "new" country, forgeting the language and everything about their countries of origin, while others prefer to live in all-Arab communities and this often means a much smaller community where everyone watches everyone else.[/QUOTE

Which is why I said it depends on the family and family culture.
