Belly dance
Dear Cera,
Only in the minds of some dancers. Belly dance is the English, non-literal for Raqs el Sharghi. The average person in the United States and elsewhere in English speaking countries, thinks, when a person uses the term belly dance, that they are speaking of dance from the Middle East. Belly dance is not a western art form, even in the minds of the average western person.
Regards,
A'isha
i didn't associate it with middle eastern dance, i associated it with Bellydance, which, at this point, is from a number of places, including the US.
