Middle Eastern dance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Middle East (Near East, Southwest Asia) has a rich and varied tradition of dance, spanning all of the Arab world, Anatolia, the Caucasus, the Balkans, and also much of Central Asia and South Asia. "Belly dance", a term coined in Orientalism, is sometimes used as a cover term for oriental dance in general, but it includes variants that do not emphasize belly movement at all, let alone stereotypical crop top costume.
