The term, arabesque has two literal meanings. The first being, a position in which a dancer has one leg raised behind and arms outstretched. The other, being more closely associated to Islamic history (as this was originated in the Ummayad era) would be defined as; intertwined designs that consist of intricate lines and patterns.
