origin
When did belly dancing start? As early as 3,500 years ago, there were belly dances similar to those seen today in ancient murals in Egypt, but different regions and countries had different legends and stories.
Legend has it that in order to give birth smoothly, the pregnant mother-to-be accepted her sister's advice, swinging her body along the curve of the snake, and swinging her whole body quickly with her abdomen as the center, showing a wave shape. The addition of beat music seems relaxed and natural, and the delivery is really smooth, so it has become a trend and gradually evolved into an entertaining belly dance, which is incredible.
Obviously, belly dancing at this time is just pure entertainment, not a perfect artistic performance.
The general impression is that belly dancing originated in Egypt. The Greeks believe that belly dancing is closely related to ancient religious ceremonies, while Saudi Arabia is a ceremony in which women do not reveal mysterious religions to the public. There is also a legend that belly dance is a kind of self-cultivation dance that integrates body and mind, and it is a sacred and noble court dance, just like western ballet.
No matter what the legend is, belly dance has evolved from different countries and cultures for a long time. It is undeniable that different regions have different styles, and belly dancing in different regions has unique and proud characteristics. Through the silent dedication of dance teachers, belly dance has become a valuable cultural wealth in the Middle East.
