I’m an Indian dancer. One of my nights, I wore a sheer sari sarong draped over a bikini as my outfit. Another dancer asked me if other Indians or customers would find it offensive. I don’t think so. Appropriation won’t be an issue since I’m Indian. Sari is cultural rather than religious. It’s no different from a Scottish kilt. I just wouldn’t dress up like an Indian goddess, wear religious accessories or certain colors, or go over the top.
What do customers think? Would you find it attractive? Interesting? Weird?
I get asked a lot about my ethnicity or hearing that I’m the first Indian dancer they’ve seen. So why not?


It probably won't hurt, but most customers focus on what dancers look like with fewer clothes on.
