Middle Eastern Culture The Middle East is built on a magnificent legacy of civilizations dating back to ancient times. Science, the arts, written language, mathematics, a legal system, and other hallmarks of civilization flourished in ancient Sumer, Persia, Egypt, and other parts of the Middle East, leaving a lasting influence on the later cultures of Greece and Rome. Today, the Middle East continues to offer the world a rich cultural contribution, as home to three major world religions, a vibrant entertainment industry, a fascinating tradition of folkloric music and dance, and a growing economic power base. The articles on this page are slanted toward the needs and interests of non-Middle Eastern people, particularly those interested in music and dance from the region.

Women have always belly danced, at parties, at family gatherings, and during rites of passage. A woman's social dancing eventually evolved into belly dancing as entertainment ("Dans Oryantal " in Turkish and "Raqs Sharqi" in Arabic). Although the history of belly dancing is murky prior to the late 1800s, many experts believe its roots go back to the temple rites of India. Probably the greatest misconception about belly dance is that it is intended to entertain men. Because segregation of the sexes was common in the part of the world that produced belly dancing, men often were not allowed to be present.

Rather that have all members of this sizable ring change their page everytime yahoo burps, or submit to their questionable treatment of personal information, I'll be spending October coming up with an alternate solution.

Calendar Links Press Coverage Find a Teacher ... WV About Middle Eastern Dance or "Belly Dance" "The 'belly' is as much a part of this dance as the feet, the arms, the headyou get the idea. Oriental Dance uses the whole body in the most controlled, fluid, beautiful way one can imagine. Since the abdominal area is the center of balance in the body it is a central point, not just in this dance but all the time. The abdomen is featured in undulations, but so are the arms, the hands and the whole torso. Those who embrace the term 'Belly Dance' as the legitimate name for this dance do so as way to honor the feminine power of giving life." Samra (Galax, VA) "Belly Dancing facilitates an intimate connection for graceful movement, balance, poise, etc., which in turn facilitate enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence. Every Belly Dancer becomes a beautiful woman able to love her body. Age, figure, weight, ability, etc., become unimportant when learning the Joy of Belly Dancing." Amira (Roanoke, VA) "Belly Dancing is a Middle Eastern style of dance for women that supports strength, rhythm, and coordination. It is a great way to exercise and have fun"
