Fantasy? Yes! I also think it has to do with possibilities fo improvisation- this way expressing own vision of music, emotion, etc. Ballet on the other hand is 100% choreographed?????
ANd I do agree that many dancers express their vision of "middle east" something like oriental fairy tale.... Therefore the Arabic stage names, etc, even if there is not enough access to learning the true culture but rather using Wstern Fantasy of the culture....
