We are always asked about tipping. Is it appropriate and what is the proper etiquette for tipping? One story is that this tradition was began by poor peasant girls to raise money for their dowries. Another is that the Turkish and Greek dancers brought the tradition of tipping to NYC in the 1950s because they were afraid the restaurant owners would not pay them to perform. Today, applause and compliments are the best way to show the dancer that you enjoyed her performance. But if you would like to tip the dancer, handing her a tip after her performance is completed is the proper etiquette
