Belly Dance Scarves & Veils
Belly Dance Scarves & Veils
The term "belly dance" is a translation of the French "danse du ventre" which was applied to the dance in the Victorian Era. It is something of a misnomer as every part of the body is involved in the dance; the most featured body part is usually the hips. Belly dance takes many different forms depending on the country and region, both in costume and dance style, and new styles have evolved in the West as its popularity has spread globally. Although contemporary forms of the dance have generally been performed by women, some of the dances, particularly the cane dance, have origins in male forms of performance.
