About Belly Dancing

The origins of belly dancing are mysterious. Belly Dancing was found in North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, but it is unclear where it started. Commonly performed as part of cultural festivities such as weddings, belly dancing was also promoted by artists as exotic and connected to harem life.

Of course, you should know that today's popular belly dancing images and attire has been heavily influenced by Hollywood and Western culture.

Belly Dancer Accessories

A belly dancer typically has alot of accessories. However, the one accessory frequently associated with a belly dancer is the zils (also known as finger cymbals). They are typically worn on the thumb and middle finger of each hand and played while dancing.

From beaded bracelets and arm cuffs to beaded belts and hip scarves, your belly dancing costume accessories are only limited by your imagination and your budget. You also have options when it comes to footwear. Some prefer to dance barefoot, while others choose to dance in high heels. Whatever option you choose, you can add a sexy anklet to your outfit to accentuate your legs!

If you intend to perform for the room, or if you think you might be persuaded to put on a show, don't forget to bring a cd with music that would be appropriate for belly dancing.
