I understand that you want to share your gift of dance with your new husband and your family and friends, but there are probably better venues for this where everyone will get more out of it.
Give your husband a personal performance after the festivities, and invite the other guests to attend one of your dance performances, such as a studio hafla. Give people the choice to attend if they are interested.
There is nothing "tasteless" or "inappropriate" about belly dancing for an audience (see http://www.helium.com/tm/134805 ), but you should consider how you AND they will get the most enjoyment out of it. This is usually when they have chosen and prepared to be at a dance performance.

If the bride and attendants were of a culture that would do this then that is fine. However, if they are not think really tacky and here in UK any way I think it would completely lower the tone of any reception. I agree with others if the brides wants to do this for her husband in private that would be fine. Lets be honest some cultures look wonderful performing such a dance but it would be very unusual for to get the same effect here anyway.

Looking at the previous answers it seems most people see it as inappropriate, so it's very likely that this reflects how the other guests at the wedding might see it. I know it's not as though she's doing a lap dance or a striptease for him, but I still think I would feel a bit uncomfortable if I was there!

Don't even think about it. I'm gonna do the same in my wedding too. I'll get married in 2008. Is a perfect way to celebrate your happyness. Your husband, and the guest. will love it.
I bellydance since 2003, so, my advice:
Think about a music really glamorous and happy, the people will keep their eyes on you. a perfect performance, with some element, the one you like more. I great derbake solo in the end...
But don't forget that is your wedding... you have to be perfect.. don't get exhausted, take care of your body please...
PD: keep some tricks for your honeymoon... enjoy it!!!!!

well it is extremely diferent-never heard of that before but with saying that it is your wedding and you can do what ever you want-just remember to keep in mind of how your guests might see it as(inappropriate)! you may want to do that after the reception when you get back to the hotel-especially if it is a formal wedding-but good luck and congratulations, by the way!!

That sounds really fun....! Definitely go for it.... and party the night away!!
I'm sure this is a religious/cultural thing..?! Seen it on TV, and it looked really fun..!
Just 1 question... do you really want your bridesmaids dancing for your husband??
How about getting him sitting on a chair in the middle of the dance-floor at the reception, and doing it alone... make sure you keep it to simple fun... (leave the imagination to run wild later on....)
After the song has finished, get the music up tempo and everyone start dancing...
Good luck, best get practising!x

As long as it's not during the CEREMONY that she wants to do this, I think it's a great, creative idea! If there are a couple people who find it horribly offensive, I'd say she should save the cost of their meals and use it to by some belly button jewels!

I don't like it at all...Very tacky and not classy at all. You should perform a belly dance for your husband when you are in the privacy of your bedroom. Where did you ever get an idea like that?

its your reception, you can do whatever you want. but i say save the belly dance for another occasion. it just doesnt seem right for a wedding reception. does your wedding and reception have a tropical theme? even so, just not appropriate. but.....thats just my opinion. oh, congradulations on your wedding. i hope you both have a healthy and happy long life together.

in some cultures the belly dance is part of many ceremonies including weddings. it's not necessarily trashy or inappropriate just a different culture and tradition
