sorry Absinthe Fairy, you are only partialy correct.
Belly dance was brought to the west by egyptian dancer Little Egypt in a circus in USA. In a traditional folkloric outfit. The 1920's American dancer Ruth St. Denis was studying the dance of Japan, Egypt and India and adapted their costumes. This costume evolved into the familiar cabaret belly dance costume. This costume found it's way to Egypt and Lebanon, and became ingrained in the public's mind as THE traditional belly dance costume.

Their expressions are so fun. They look like they enjoyed themselves. Now that's a true performer. They move very nicely as well.

@TheABsiNtHeFaiRy actually the outfit is driven from the local women dress, were dancers were poor and couldn't afford a proper dancing outfit

Looooool this made me laugh, bellydance is the only dance they are not doing. They are just jumping around, thinking they are bellydancing.

Whatever they are doing, it is quite popular. Do you have a better measure of success other than popularity?
