Description
by Khalidah Kali (Author)
What is belly dance? The dance which Americans know as "Belly Dance" is known by many names.
The French call the dance, "Danse Du Ventre" or dance of the stomach. It is known in Greece as the Cifte Telli. (Cifte Telli is also the name of a rhythm.) In Turkey, it is known as "Rakkase." in Egypt as "Raqs Sharqi."
Middle Easterners also call it "Dance Orientale" to distinguish it from "Baladi" or Folk (Traditional) Dance.
After its appearance at the Chicago Exposition at the turn of the century, Americans discovered the French name, Danse du Ventre, and it was translated into the "Belly Dance."
