Belly Dancing

Belly dancing is a traditional type of Arab dance (called aqs sharqi or رقص شرقي there). Belly dancing is native to the Middle East but has become popular in the United States and in many other parts of the world. The costume and style of belly dance varies considerably depending on the region that it originated. Belly dancing is a celebratory and social dance that both men and women do, but the genders almost always dance amongst themselves and do not mix.
