If you look at the male khaleegi dancers many of them can dance very well, a lot of times they dance even better than the women. And these are men who don't have more than two inches of hair if any, and they usually cover their head with a traditional scarf anyway.
Gypsy,

Are the "hair tossing" movements done anyway, even with short hair? By that I mean leaning forward and facing slightly to one side or the other and pulsing with the rhythm. I was practicing khalegi last night and there are some places in the music where I just wanted to do those movements that would ordinarily be accented by long hair even though my hair is very short.
