Belly Dance

From Wikipedia ~

Belly dancing is believed to have had a long history in the Middle

East, but reliable evidence about its origins is scarce, and accounts

of its history are often highly speculative.[7] Several Greek and

Roman sources including Juvenal and Martial describe dancers from

Asia Minor and Spain using undulating movements, playing

castanets, and sinking to the floor with 'quivering thighs', descriptions

that are certainly suggestive of the movements that we today

associate with belly dance.[8] Later, particularly in the 18th and 19th

centuries, European travellers in the Middle East such as Edward

Lane and Flaubert wrote extensively of the dancers they saw there,

including the Awalim and Ghawazee of Egypt. In the Ottoman

Empire belly dancers used to perform for the harem in the Topkapı

Palace
