Best Answer

The art of belly dancing originated from the Middle East and other Arabic influenced regions many years ago. It was popularised in western countries and late 1890's. Benefits of belly dancing are both metal and Phyical.

Belly Dancing tones the arms, strengthens and tightens the abs and improves flexibility. As a form of exercise, it can burn as many calories as light jogging, swimming or riding a bike.

The four most popular and known styles are traditional Baladi Sharki and Bedouin dance, 'cabaret', and the Lebanese Ciftetlli.

Many belly dance styles emphasize muscular "isolations", teaching the ability to move various muscles or muscle groups independently.

Belly dancing is designed for the female body, with a weight on abdominal muscles, hip moves, and chest moves.
