Hello there I am a dancer here in Canada and I was wondering what your rules were on covering up before and after a performance

I am not sure what you are asking but if it is about what your attire is when you arrive to a performance in a night club or wedding reception etc., it is best not show your costume before the show. That way you do not loose the impact on the audience when music, dance and costume all come together with a big impact. It is best not to show your costume after the show because the magic of the show will be destroyed. It is generally best to stay out of sight of as many of the audience as possible before and after the show - whether in costume, street clothes or gallabeyah on top of costume - so that the audience is only aware of the magical Bellydancer and never has a chance to think of you as a regular person like anyone else. Hope that helps.
