The most amazing and talented belly dancers and legendary belly dancers.Belly dancers from all over the world from Egypt,Turkey,USA, Iraq,Morocco,Lebanon,and Columbia.Thanks for watching. Bellydance, Raks Sharqi, Danse Orientale, or whichever term you use refers to a wide variety of womens dances originating from Middle Eastern countries. This is a dance by and for women, and is traditionally performed by family members for family events like birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations, Public dancing is performed by professional dancers, and some Middle Eastern countries place strict requirements on who can perform, where, and what type of costuming must be worn.

While the exact origins of the dance are shrouded in history, it is generally accepted that bellydance began in ancient Egypt. However every region in the Middle East, and also North Africa and Central Asia, has their version of the dance. Nomadic peoples like the Bedouin and Romany also influenced the dance; as they moved from place to place their dances would incorporate something new from the local dancers, which they would carry onto their next destination. The dance is still evolving today with new styles such as fusion with Flamenco, Jazz, Bollywood, and variations of American Tribal Style.Enjoy the video. The song title is Baladi.
