What is the ruling on a woman working as a ballet dancer, and the ruling on establishing schools to teach the art of ballet to men and women, taking into consideration that the ghiladah (major awrah) of men who dance ballet is outlined?

Dancing for women among women—if free from prohibitions—is a matter of scholarly disagreement, oscillating between being disliked (makruh) and forbidden (haram), with the preferred view being that it is disliked. As for the claim that dancing refines emotions, dancing actually leads to moral degradation and a lack of modesty. Jurists have rejected the testimony of a dancer due to their loss of murūʾah (chivalry/dignity). As for establishing a mixed-gender dance school, it is a great calamity and promotes forbidden mingling and the viewing of ʿawrah (private parts). As for tight clothing that defines the ʿawrah, it is disliked, and this dislike intensifies concerning the ʿawrah mughallazah (the major private parts).
