Ekaterina Andreeva, the Russian belly dancer has been arrested after a racy dance video from one of her latest shows went viral. She was accused of wearing a provocative dress and performing immoral dancing at a nightclub by the Nile in Giza. The 31-year-old bellydancer is known by her stage name "Gawhara". Authorities were offended that the exotic dancer reportedly was dressed scantily and wore no knickers during her performance.
In the video, which was taken by a member of the audience, can see Ekaterina dancing to an upbeat tune with the spectators cheering her on. She was wearing a white lacy low-neck cut out blouse and a thigh-high slit skirt, hugging her curves perfectly.
According to reports, Egyptian prosecutor Hatim Fadl said belly dancers in the country are required to wear underwear of any colour but beige, and Ekaterina did not follow the rule.
The dancer is currently out on bail and her employers are working with lawyers to resolve the issue, a source close to her was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. She is currently forbidden to perform until her case is reviewed.
