Bellydancing
Belly dancing used to be danced deep in the
confines of the temples danced by women for
women for fertility from the gods. The movements
are all centered around the womb, pelvis, breasts,
or movements drawing the eye to these areas. The
moves are sensual and sinuous but most people
think of it to be for the act of procreation when in
fact it is for this and for the birthing.
It is a sacred and beautiful dance with beginnings
so far back in iniquity that the first dance is lost in
the mist of time, there is small statuettes from
Persia of dancers form the 12th century and
paintings on the walls of Egyptian tombs that date
back to the 14th century. Dancers originally were
held in the highest esteem and were sought after
for their amazing dance displays but as time went
on as time does things began to change and the
dance began to change and become common,
dancers began to appear in the burlesques where
they began to dance for more, then on the street
dancing for coins and slowly the glamour and
mysticism surrounding the dance began to wane.
Now with the upcoming of a few beautiful troupes
of tribal dancers that have been coming into the
light the old feeling is coming back of the old
beauty the layers of cloth and jewelry, I commend
you.
