Is it permissible for women to dance in front of some of them, especially if it exposes parts of their private parts?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : There is a clarification, O Shaykh, regarding the issue of women dancing. Some said that the intended meaning of dancing is Syrian dancing. I do not actually understand Syrian dancing, but it was said that some women bind certain areas of their bodies, so that some of their private parts are exposed. Based on this, is it permissible for women to dance in front of some of them?

The Shaykh : And I am Syrian, of course, but I am not more knowledgeable about what is being asked than the questioner. Based on what I have heard, it is clear that it is not permissible.

The questioner : The questioner asks: What is the evidence for the impermissibility?
Another questioner: Imitating the people of open sinfulness and lewdness is imitating the people of open sinfulness and lewdness.

The Shaykh : Usamah ibn Zayd, and his command to cover her head with a garment for his wife, and he said to him: Tell her to place it underneath... for I fear that the cupper will describe the size of her head, or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. The evidence is this.
