Belly Dance

When people think about belly dance - usually a sequined open bellied seductress comes to mind. While these do abound at weddings and hotels, there are also more traditional fully clothed versions of belly dancers too, in a variety of amazing colorful folkloric fabulous costumes. Egyptian dance is playful, creative, can tell a (humorous/love) story, and can feature everything from traditional dance of men fighting with sticks to ladies balancing large brass (and lit) candelabras on their heads.
