You should do it, I only started it for exercise, it's a brilliant way to get fit!!! I've done two public performances, and by performance I don't mean stripping. the picture above is what i wear, and it's a proper dance performance, nothing sleazy, it's a very very athletic dance, and when you look at the world champion videos, the things they can do are just absolutely amazing!!!! Honestly, you should find a class that teaches you how to do it, then there's just you and the other women so you don't have to worry about showing your body, it does give you a lot of confidence too...
