Oriental Dance,
Bellydance,
Raqs Sharqi
Oriental dance is a popular name to describe the range of dance styles from the Middle East and North Africa.
Oriental dance refers to different dances of the MENA area (Middle East and North Africa), from folkloric dances to modern. Oriental dance can be called Raqs Sharqi – a dance from the East.
Even though dance is thousands of years old, the name Bellydance came into use in the 19th century when Europeans and Americans first saw oriental dance.
Fusion Bellydance (also known previously as Tribal Fusion) is rooted in Oriental Dance. It has also influences from other dance styles such as flamenco, street dance and kathak.
