If you think of a bellydancer, chances are the images called to mind are those of swirling veils, shaking hips, and tinkling finger cymbals. Classical bellydance encompasses the entertainment style one would find in the finest theaters and cabarets from Cairo to Istanbul. The style is airy, graceful and fluid. Dancers are decked in dazzling costumes embellished with crystals, glass beads, sequins and luxe fabrics. The rich, orchestral music is complex and full of subtle nuances and dramatic crescendos. Bellydance, correctly known as Oriental Dance or Raqs Sharqi, evolved from Middle Eastern folk dances, fused with traces of ballet and Hollywood-inspired glamour.
