Before the main event, Sarah performs a two-minute slow, seductive dance. Because it is VR, you can look down at your own virtual body (a traveler's robes) and then up at her hips swaying millimeters from your face. It is a masterclass in teasing.

While BadoinkVR, Sarah, and Arabian Nights may seem like disparate entities, they can be connected through the lens of immersive storytelling. BadoinkVR's interactive experiences, including those created by Sarah, can be seen as a modern interpretation of the storytelling tradition found in Arabian Nights.

Critics have noted that the scene is perhaps too dark in the first three minutes (you have to adjust your headset brightness), and the frame rate drops slightly during the fast belly dance segment if you are using a lower-end PC VR headset like the Oculus Quest 2 via Link. On a high-end setup (Index/Vive Pro 2), it runs flawlessly.
