Woah, woah, WOAH! Hold up now.

Belly dancing is not stripping. It’s not sexual. It is not the stereotype that it’s made out to be. It’s a serious dance form that requires as much training to be good as any other dance would.
If you would like more information, check out this site http://www.shira.net. She’s spent years gathering information and, because of her hard work, is the most comprehensive and knowledgeable site out there. She even has a teacher directory.

If she wants striptease lessons, take her to a local strip club. She’ll find no tassel swinging or lap dancing in a real belly dance class.

if i let my daighter do that, i would be an awful mother. if it was just to try something new bc she loves dance, it may be more of an option, but definately with oppositions, but letting your daughter doing it, knowing that her intentions were to become a stripper, is just plain wrong. tell your daughter, that if she wants to take bellydancing classes, she can pay for them herself when she is 18. offer up some other options to her for other types of dance classes, if she hasnt done them al already, appropriate for her age. for a mother to let her 13 year old bellydance, is permission from the mother to basically be a whore, in this case. plus, think about the rep shell have at school. shell prolly be labled as easy and light

i would let my daughter take the class but not if those are her goals.

you need to talk to her first about how people look down on exotic/striptease and that it will hard for men dating wise to take her seriously and that they strip to nude in exotic. tell her to save it for her husband/the man she loves.

tell her to take the class because its a chance to learn more dances and its no an erotic dance its a cultural thing.

then based on her choice.

i think it will change as she gets older but still keep talk like this up and about sex too make she knows everything she is at risk if she nows this much about striptease dances now.

Seriously, It wouldn’t matter. When she’s 18 she’s an adult and can do whatever she wants. Let her do the lessons. You never know, she might change her mind anyway when she’s older. Go ahead, whatever floats her boat

well me and my mom are going to be taking belly dancing classes soon and im 14. its good exercise. we were actually going to do pole dancing but we couldnt find a place that would let me take it. lol.

anyway, if it were my kid, i would let them take it if they loved dancing. if they wanted to take it to be a stripper when they were older, no way.

btw, we are taking these classes for exercise and exercise ONLY.
