COSTUMES AND MUSIC FOR THE WAIST DANCE
The waist dance doesn't have specified costumes, you can perform it in any dress. But if you wish, you can perform it in traditional attire if it's performed at cultural events.
The waist dance is better performed with cultural music since it is a cultural dance. These types of music will qualify the dance, and make the moves and the beats compatible. But you can perform the waist dance with any other music that the sound permits you.

What an amazing showcase of dancing talent!
I don't know about Nigerian culture but waist dance really needs your body to have flexibility so that you may move your waist.
I have watched both of your videos.Both are amazing.
Thanks for promoting that what knack4buzz community is all about.
