Tunisian dances are not split into categories like US dance by style of music or European categorization. Tunisian dances are simply without a name, you have the beat, just follow it and dance.

For some traditional rhythms, there are some conventional dances , the majority of them are still practiced only during weddings, and they consist of regular movements of a group of women and/or man.

the dances actually are some kind a play, a short story made by body and sword for men / body and silk clothes for women. the themes are always about honor, noble values.. however, they are little by little disappearing nowadays, due to the pace of modernity.

Apart from the traditional dance concept, as Tunisia is a part of the Arab world, Belly dance is so famous in here. Belly dance originates from Egypt, yet, it is so used in Tunisia.

A last thing is the type of music:

1. if the music played is Tunisian, (it is generally known as highly moving music with strong beats and rhythmic pattern) , they dance Tunisian free way.

2. if the music played is Oriental, they dance belly type.
