From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Middle East (Near East, Southwest Asia) has a rich and varied tradition of dance, spanning the entire Arab world, Anatolia, the Caucasus, the Balkans, and also much of Central Asia and South Asia. "Belly dance," a term coined from 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 the stereotypical crop top costume.
