Appropriate Songs for Belly Dancing Routines

Good belly dancers learn to express the rhythms and melodies of the music they dance to. In order to put on a good show, dancers must have several changes in the music to express different qualities of their dancing. A belly dance solo typically lasts around 8 minutes, and usually follows a set routine. A dancer may use medium to fast-paced music for her entrance, proceed to a slower rhythm for a long, sensuous section, pick up the pace during a rhythmic drum section, then perform a finale or exit to a faster-paced, dramatic beat. Belly dance music may be live or taped.

Why do people want to study Belly Dancing?

Oriental Dance, or Belly dance as most of you will know it as, is an ancient dance form that today is taught and practiced for many different reasons:


• Bellydance is a great way to get fit. Suitable for any age, shape and fitness level, it is a great activity to assist in toning and strengthening the entire body. You will gradually see your body change shape and if you practice regularly and eat the correct foods, you can even lose weight. Belly dance is the fun way to get fit!
• Bellydance is a great way for you to meet new people. In the relaxed atmosphere of our classes you can escape the daily grind and laugh, exercise and socialise all in one go!
• Bellydance will make you realise that your body is beautiful no matter what shape or size you are. It is a women's dance created by women for women.
• Bellydance has its roots in the Middle East and surrounding areas. Today it is still traditional to have a dancer perform at weddings, christenings and birthdays. (Note that it's a long road to becoming a professional!)

A discussion of the meaning of the “Raqs Sharqui” style of belly dancing

This term can be applied to the arrangements where a truly Theatre form was developed by Westerners using the Egyptian dancers as primary sources of inspiration.  The intention was to create a form that would hold an audience in a more theatre type of setting rather than the smaller and more intimate Egyptian Cabaret settings. This necessitated building on the dramatical aspects and visual effects more suitable for the stage such as use of veils, and a costuming that was conservative and conveyed a very cultural but not necessarily a strong Ethnic feel. Within this gentre, the word Baladi would come up, where the style would be more "earthy" and downward, and costumes would err on the folkier side. But being a Solo Art, there was no clear divisions between this and what may be termed "folk dance turned into a stage presentation."
