The other option is to have clear glass on the showy stuff and frosted or obscuring glass on the non-showy stuff. That would keep the glass theme going.
But I am not a Belly Dance Teacher.
Actually, I prefer frosted glass for showing things off. I had frosted glass cabinets in my kitchen and I put brightly colored fiestaware in them, and it would look great just showing off all the colors, but not the actual shapes of the fiestaware so much. It was a very lovely thing to look at.
Imagine them like this, where you have lovely colored objects inside, but you the shapes of those objects are a bit covered over.
Or the frosted/etched glass gives a certain lightness to the space and yet still pretty well hides things that they don't need to be pretty, or even particularly well arranged. This glass is actually custom sandblasted to achieve the opaqueness and pattern.
I designed a small etched pattern that echoes the tiny tile pattern in the backsplash, and the linearity of all the wall cabinets having the same lower panel and upper glass inset keeps things looking tidy and not broken up, and then reversed the etched to clear pattern on a hanging cabinet across the kitchen with glassware that is presentable.

I like the idea of glass cabinets, it doesn't have to be clear class(or glass for the matter), it can be opaque, or flutted, or whatever. Worried about it getting too dirty- Rain-X. Good for mirrors too.
