| Belly dance is a Western term for a traditional Arab dance genre known as raqs sharqi (Arabic: literally "oriental dance") or sometimes raqs baladi (Arabic: literally "dance of country", and so "folk" dance). It is also sometimes called "Middle Eastern Dance" or the "Arabic Dance" in the United States, "danse du ventre". Native to the Middle East, and now popular worldwide, belly dance takes many different regional forms, both in costume and dance style, indicating that distinctive dance moves may have been transported to these regions and incorporated with local dance styles. |
