They can watch it and be like, ‘Oh, what dance style is this?’, ‘Look at the hook step, that’s crazy, I want to try it’.
Most girls who appeared in such songs kind of want to show a bit of skin and then boom, the song is still going to be a hit.” Nora Fatehi on oversexualised costumes “You don’t really need to push yourself with the choreography, but I had that requirement that it has to be heavy on choreography. When they brought me the blouse, it was too tiny, and I had to put my foot down.
I said, ‘Guys, I cannot wear this. Don’t oversexualise me. .
