It's sweat *and* glitter gel - his dance style is high-speed so if you're in the front row you just hope you don't get sweated on - eurgh!

This guy is Turkish? He doesn't look like. Well, his outfit is strange, but he is cute

As about male costumes around the world: most dancers I've seen have something like two piece costume. A bolero and pants. Some Turkish dancers have very opulent costumes (for example "Prince" Erkan Serge. His costumes used to be opulent at the beginning of the 90ies. Now they are partially simple, partially opulent. Have a look at his pic gallery: SimpleViewer ), but most male belly dancers have simpler costumes than female dancers. In Greece the average male costume is indeed only pants and scarf (or belt) and naked upper body. Well some guys wear also some kind of jewelry.

Something I'm trying to "do something" about. Some of mine are simple, my newer ones are pretty involved. And I wear TONS of jewelry, love the stuff. Who sez we can't play dress up too?

Sure you can. Go for it Zorbas

Now seriously, I also adore jewelry. For me jewelry is something divine. Don't get me wrong, I don't love expensive jewelry. I wouldn't ever want to have real diamonds, because they would make me feel unfree (be afraid all of the time that they could get stolen). I love beautiful, sparkling jewelry

Why do you think that he does not look like Turkish? I think he looks quite typical Turk... he could be a brother of one my Turkish dancer friend (male stripper - not oriental

) maybe he has some Lazi blood...

Anyway I have seen very different kind of costumes with Turkish male dancers: e.g. Orgun from Marmaris used to dress like woman in the beginning of his career but nowadays has simpler and more masculine style which can be seen at the YouTube clips of him. Another great male dancer from Marmaris, Aykut, has always worn quite simple outfits consisted of harem pants, vest and turban but quite common seems to be bare-chested...

It looks like he has a serious look on his face. Shouldn't he be smiling, so people will know he's enjoying dancing? Tim
