I thought it could be a good idea to have thread listing various belly dance related research and related scientific publications (if possible, linking to the publications themselves rather than journalist articles about the research). Unfortunately, not much has been done in this topic and there are a lot of unscientific research and wishtory out there as well as very knowledgeable people who don't publish their results, but there are still things that has been and will be done in a more scientific way.
Karin van Nieuwkerk's studies on female artists, singers and dancers in Egypt; "A trade like any other: Female singers and dancers in Egypt" (1995) and "Performing Piety: Singers and actors in Egypt's Islamic revival" (2013).
The newest study I have heard of is the Australian "Belly Dance as an Embodying Activity?: A Test of the Embodiment Model of Positive Body Image" as discussed in this thread.
I know there are more, but I can't remember when and where...
Do you know any other than these?
