Need to know how many people know about belly dancing?

Question

Greece has prove of her unique dances including belly dance to be one of them. Before the Arabs conquered and were influenced by the Greeks, Romans too used similar music and so did Egypt. Alexander the Great also brought it to India and Persia but for God sakes there was no such thing as Turkey. Turkey has nothing to do with Greece or the Middle east. She came from MOngolia, and she originated from China. She raped the Middle East and other Eastern Orthodox countries, intermixed her people by robbing and massacre everything in site and she dares to say its her own?. If you even listen to her language and music you will see how chinese it sounds. In some songs it even sounded a little like korean.

Answer 1

My dear Elladitsa,
Belly dancing is a very wide spread dance around the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, including India.
Its origin its not yet fully determined!
There are various theories but none is proven!
Here are the most important ones:
a) Descended from dances in early Egypt (not very widely accepted explanation)
b) Descended from religious dances ancient Greek Priestesses once practiced. ( a very widely spread explanation)
The ancient Greek women used to dance it for worshiping Aphrodite (Venus). There must have been Belly dance also through the Greek medieval times. At that time of the Byzantine Imperia the Greeks had strong cultural exchange with the Arabs and other Middle-East population.
c) Had been a part of traditional birthing practices in the region(s) of origin,
d) Had spread from the migrations of the Roma (gypsies) people and related groups. (This is probably the best explanation in my opinion although I believe that ancient influence mast exist probably from regions including Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Arabia))
(What is (probably) a Greek dance is the Greek Tsifteteli which is completely different from the Turkish version which is called also Chiftetelli. Are you sure that you are not confusing Belly Dancing with Tsifteteli.?)
(please read the bellow answer!!! Admire the culture of that person!!!)
