It doesnt - It is strictly forbidden in any interpretation of Kuran and Islam that a woman dances in front of men. Belly dance is a cultural thing not a religious one, and in ancient times it was performed by men as an art and there are still men who perform this art. After some time, women started to perform this art and once women were involved, it is started to be used as a show where the woman wear very sexy clothing and it turned to a show similar to striptease. however, it has always been woman belly dancers who do it as an art and you have to see how different they dance! It has nothing to do with being liberal Muslims or not. I am an extremely liberal Muslim, I dont cover my hair etc. and I have very different and liberal interpretations of Kuran but it is the most obvious thing that belly dance in today's sense is forbidden in Islam.

Earlier this year, I visited Morocco, a Muslim country and part of their culture is belly dancing. Of course, the women are fully clothed because one does not need to SEE the belly button to appreciate the fullness of the dancing ritual.
In fact, at my wedding, they were all trying to teach me to belly dance - it was a lot of fun. The women were in one room and the men were in another room. We "strutted" our stuff fully clothed and still had fun. :) Additionally, we watched many CDs where this was performed at other weddings (men were included in the room and also danced).

It came from the middle east. It was around before and after Islam. If it isn't acceptable it should be. Done properly I can not imagine anything more wonderful to watch.

Musics & Arts are acceptable in Islam but Islam do have the guidelines.
As I'm not belong to this culture, I can't give my point of view.

Yes it,s part of their culture, a western version of going to the disco for men. I have seen it in Turkey,it,s done in very good taste and is most erotic. The women are very beautiful.

in Islam, it clearly unacceptable but people do it behind closed doors.
