WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

During my stay in Egypt we saw quite often belly dancers. There always was a show in the hotels in Egypt, Morroco and Tunesia and the Belly Dance was a must to be seen by the tourists. 

According to some, the dance form that today many call belly dance is extremely old and traces of it can be found up to 6,000 years ago, in some pagan societies who used to worship a feminine deity, to celebrate women’s fertility as something magic. This should be an example to the Western men !!

  2. Kids were allowed to watch belly dances? That kind of surprises me.

  4. Hi Gattina,

    Thanks for taking the trouble to send me your reaction to my comment.
    Perhaps this particular show was moderate and harmless, but usually belly dancing has a lot of sexual moves, not suitable for child watching. I myself , like this kind of dances. By the way, it's popular in our gym studios too, as a way of excercising and practicing fitness.
