About Belly Dance
The dance form
we call "belly dancing" is
derived from traditional
women's dances of the
Middle East and North
Africa. Women have
always belly danced,
at parties, at family
gatherings, and during
rites of passage. A
woman's social dancing
eventually evolved into
belly dancing as
entertainment
("Dans Oryantal" in
Turkish and "Raqs Sharqi"
in Arabic). Although the
history of belly dancing is
murky prior to the late 1800s,
many experts believe its roots
go back to the temple rites of
India. Probably the greatest
misconception about belly dance
is that it is intended to entertain
men.
Because segregation of the
sexes was common in the part
of the world that produced belly
dancing, men often were
not allowed to be present.
