The idea about belly dance in most of Arabian countries is bad and not an art meanwhile the ballet show considered an art and dancers are artists.
As I am Egyptian so I will talk from the Egyptian point of view .
The problem mainly is the place where belly dance is preformed in, it's stuck in Egyptian minds that belly dance is shown in cabaret and nightclubs where alcohol drinks are served and in Egypt when you are going to a nightclub or a cabaret ,you are going there to get drunk and as you are drunk, it will not matter to you if you are watching a belly dancer her performance, more than her body and how sexy she was,as a stripper in foreign countries,
Now check this out ask an Egyptian about ballet and ballet dancer they will reply that is art , Why?
It is still a dance show , but where the show is shown, in famous theatres also sometimes ballet dancers may wear more revealing or sexy costume than belly dancers. But the main idea is the place where the show take place
Ex. Ask an Egyptian about Farida Fahmy and the reda troupe, nearly all answers will be the same that's an art from our culture then you ask about belly dance you will get a bad response, Farida Fahmy and Reda family got that idea about the place and created and made their shows on main theater or their theater, that's why they are away from the bad reputation of belly dance in Egypt.
This was the main point where belly dance got it's bad reputation in Egypt and most Arabian countries,of course there are still other reasons that we will talk about it later in our blog.
