Arising from the culture of the Middle-Eastern world, belly dancing is traditionally performed at weddings and parties, as well as in the best nightclubs and theaters. This form of dance depends on fine muscle control of the torso, arms, and hips, and on interpretation of the music. Middle-Eastern dance is neither a tease nor a come-on nor are there nude dancers - it is family friendly! The dance is an expression of feeling: joy, love, sorrow, friendliness, passion, contemplation, and all the complex emotions of life.
