The part requires very brief partial frontal nudity. Please note: Although the choreography is inspired by oriental dance in part, it cannot be characterized as traditional oriental dance.

Please wear dance clothing with bare midriff and hip scarf. Bare feet or lyric sandals. No skirts or loose fitting pants. Finger cymbals and veils will not be needed.
