Some aspects of nudity in theatre dance

Article Abstract:

Nudity is not an accepted feature of dance performances, although Western artists are more open to minimal clothing of bodies than their Eastern counterparts. Dance critics do go so far as to believe that long dresses prevent the authentic movement of the dancers' bodies. Yet, even Western audiences are not accustomed to the idea of complete nudity on stage.
