What is your opionon of belly dancers?

ive never watched one before but im interested to know what Lebanese guys and girls think about it? Do you think its enjoyable to watch ? or do you think its degrading ? i really dont know what i think about it as ive never seen one perform at all but i know here in new years eve their were loads in beirut having bellydancers at hotels etc for everyone to enjoy. So whats your opionon? Are they considered easy girls? or are they considered someone expressing their talent?
