What is "The Dance"?

The dance is commonly known as bellydance, belly dance, or raks sharki in the western world. In the Middle East, where it is originally from, it is known simply as "The Dance." Everyone does some form of "The Dance" in the Middle East. In the rest of the world, however, bellydance, or raks sharqi, is defined by the elegant professional dancers in their glamorous beaded costumes.

Bellydance is a mix of shimmies, and sinuous movements that take immense control on the part of the dancer. It is both an aerobic and muscle workout. Every shimmy, every movement must be on the rhythm, or it won't look right. Even the way the body is framed is vital to looking elegant as a bellydancer. This is the secret of the professional dancer.
