Turkey calls belly dancing Gobek dans. Belly dance originated in Egypt. At first, it was just a dirty dance and could only be performed on some small occasions. At the World Expo held in Chicago from 65438 to 0893, when the first Middle Eastern belly dancer from Egypt performed in midway plaisance, it caused an uproar and became a hot topic of controversy at that time, but in the end, belly dancing quickly became popular in the United States. It is an eye-opener for Americans, so Americans who do belly dancing translate French Danse Du ventre (literally translated into English belly dance) into belly dance. This kind of dance often appears in musical comedies on Broadway. Belly dance went to the world through the World Expo, and its exquisite costumes, fancy hip movements and sexy and charming gestures swept the world. Half a century later, in the six years since its establishment, BDSS dancers have toured more than 65,438+000 countries in Europe, Africa, America and Asia all the year round.
