Five thousand years of belly dancing culminate in a nightclub performance, dramatized by pictures that metamorphosize into live dancers performing in the style of a variety of historical periods. The video includes rare film footage of the famous "Little Egypt," who danced her way into the American consciousness at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Interviews with belly dancers, in classes and at work, round out this picture of an ancient and fascinating art. Produced and directed by Stewart Lippe.

  • LOL....yes you can! when I learned belly dance 1 year ago it increased my flexibility, sculpted my waistline and am very pleased with the results:)

  • Actualy, what they show in this short intro is what many bellydncers still use in floor work when they perform. So these are in fact movements form Bellydance :-)
