Best Answer

There is no simple answer that will be universally agreed upon. In the West, most people think belly dancing comes from the Middle East. And in the Middle East, most people think it was imported there by the West. The Arabs in North Africa had their own dances which were brought to France and the US in the late 19th Century, and these may or may not be considered belly dancing, depending on who you talk to.
