The art of Belly Dance.
&#8220; The dance that has captured the spirit of women
throughout the ages&#8221;

The style of dancing we now called belly dance (Raqs Sharki) can trace its history over 6000 years ago, with the Egyptians, Turks, and Phoenicians.

<p><span style="color:#333300;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">The style of dancing we now called belly dance (Raqs Sharki) </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">can trace its </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;">history over 6000</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> years</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> ago,</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"> with the Egyptians, Turks, and Phoenicians. These dances originated as fertility dances, temple dances, birthing and celebratory dances; most festive occasions were not complete without dancing. As the dance spread, each region had an influence, captivating and adopting different movements. </span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:10pt;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial;"><img src="http://www.memphisraqs.com/images/webgraphics/historyofbellydance2.jpg" alt="Belly Dance Nuweiba" width="287" height="211" />     <img src="http://www.memphisraqs.com/images/webgraphics/historyofbellydance.jpg" alt="Belly Dance Nuweiba" width="164" height="211" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#333300;font-family:Arial;">In Egypt, women did not dance for a man’s entertainment but strictly for other women during family and social gatherings.  Young girls were brought up with the music and style of dance as part of their culture.  The women would gather in a circle (Hafla), taking turns dancing solo or with others showing off their skill, grace and beauty interpreting the mood of the music.   The ladies would <em>Zaghareet</em> (ululation) to show their approval and encouragement.  </span></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#333300;font-family:Arial;">When a girl danced for the first time, it was a rite of passage into the world of womanhood.  Therefore, belly dancing is NOT stripping or exotic dancing, but rather an ethnic dance form that has history and meaning.</span></p>

Werner Hamelinck zorgde voor de wegwijs aan de woestijnsterrenhemel.</span></p>
