For those looking for "gipsy" bellydancer influence in your outfits.
This is a russian Roma performer, check out her dancers - those are corsets over choli shirts with dance skirts. This is what adult roma dancers usually look like now and a hundred years ago.

This next one is a youth dance group in Czech that works to draw attentention to child marriages. The outfits are what a Roma chavi wears to attract a suitor. This is what most people consider "bellydancer" wear.

The next is Dela Dap - they are the soul of roma music and dance.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtjv8qmSneo - shows the fusion of old with new.
And last - The Basily Boys! No costumes - but there is a huge gear opening the clip.
