What are some creative ideas for a belly dance show? (special effects, costumes, etc.)?

It depends on the effect you want. If you want to go to cultural authenticity, you will use minimal accessories (sticks, swords, a jug of water) and the national costume. Henna tattoos are good, and a handkerchief around the hips. If you want to go to the old Razzle Dazzle, please use the snakes candlebras, revealing costumes (commercially available) or let your imagination.
