The answer

We have previously clarified the permissibility of a woman dancing in front of her female peers, provided that there is no fear of temptation and no forbidden شرعي (Islamic legal) act accompanies it. However, if there is a fear of temptation, it becomes forbidden. Among the sources of temptation is photography, which may lead to those who are not permitted to see her viewing her. Therefore, we do not consider it permissible for a woman to dance if it exposes her to such a situation.
