Belly Dancers

Belly Dance- What is it?
Belly dance is an expressive dance which emphasizes complex movements of the torso. Originally a Middle Eastern folk dance, it has evolved to take many different forms depending on the country and region, both in costume and dance style. New styles have been spread from the Middle East to the whole world where its popularity is becoming more and more popular in the Occident.

Belly Dance- What are its roots?

The term “belly dance” is a translation of the French term “danse du ventre”, which was applied to the dance in the Victorian era, and probably originally referred to dancers from the Ouled Nail tribes of Algeria.

Belly Dance- Today

Its current use is something of a misnomer, as the Ouled Nail dance used more abdominal movements than the dances described today as “belly dance”.
