  Introduction to Bellydance
Bellydance is the oldest known dance. Where it originated and how old it is, no one exactly knows but it is speculated that the dance might have started in the Mediterranean, though Egypt takes credit for the dance having been recognized as part of their culture. It is thought to have begun between 15 and 20 thousand years ago. It was a fertility ritual to prepare the body for childbirth.

Today, bellydance is done worldwide. It is used as a form of exercise and also as entertainment. It can be performed at restaurants, festivals, weddings, and at family gatherings.

Bellydance can be enjoyed by any age, size and shape. So let us emphasize the feminine beauty of every woman. Let us Bellydance!!!
