Belly Dancing

No, Belly dance is a entertainment performing art and nothing else. Because women can use their beauty and attractiveness to earn money easily, which does not works easy for in case of male. The biggest argument about this show is that dancing/performing goes against everything they believe about modesty. But some experienced belly dancer always say that belly dance is a celebration of joy of life and grace of God.

Belly dancing arose from various dancing styles which were performed in the Middle East and North Africa. One theory is that belly dance may have roots in the ancient Arab tribal religions as a dance to the goddess of fertility Some claim that in pre-Islamic Arabia Ishmeali Arab women were the first people to perform this type of dance as part of religious rites to Hubal, the moon god. A third theory is that belly dance was always danced as entertainment Some belly dance historians believe that the movements of dancing girls depicted in carvings from Pharaonic times are typical of belly dancing. As the term belly dance has come to refer to a wide variety of dance practices, predominantly performed by independent female dancers, it is very difficult for any single claim to be upheld.

Belly dance is known as "contemporary dance". Belly dancing is one of the popular oldest dance in the world. It has been skillful for thousands of years.

Belly dance began as a ritual in which both men and women could participate. Men and women are constructed differently, which can create challenges for men trying to imitate women's belly dancing styles. Men can learn to dance the same way like women, but it may take them long time. Because, women have larger hips, which are well suited for side-to-side use, while men are better at forward and back movements.

yes

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.

There is no specific age that is considered "too old" for belly dancing, as it can be enjoyed by individuals of all ages. Many people take up belly dancing later in life for its physical benefits, cultural expression, and sense of community. As long as one is physically able and enjoys the art form, they can participate at any age. Ultimately, it's about personal enjoyment and health rather than age limitations.

I think the majority of the stigma against belly dancing, particularly in the United States, is the overt display of the human body. Belly dancers are usually wearing very little clothing as the art of the dance involves showing isolated muscle movements. Because of this lack of garb, Americans seem to automatically categorize belly dancing as lewd and sexual and, therefore, against true Christian morals.

Reminiscent of any other country, Dance is a popular cultural form in Malaysia too. The influence of various cultures is inherent in the culture of Malaysia and it is also visible in its dance. Dance, of any nation state, doesn't only characterize the culture, but also make an inseparable part of entertainment. At times, you can find a particular dance known after some particular region. In fact, such dances act as an added attraction in celebrations, be it wedding parties, reception, religious ceremonies or any other event.

As regards the dances of Malaysia, there are many traditional dance forms which are still very much liked and performed in the country. Joget is a conventional dance form which is performed usually by couples, combining fast, graceful movements with good humor. Malaysia's most superb dance form is known to be the Candle Dance in which the candles are fixed on small plates and the dancer performs, holding plates in each hand. It becomes all the more fascinating to the onlooker with elegant body movements and curves.

Many of the dance forms have been originated from martial arts or theatrical forms, like Silat. Silat was actually a deadly martial art accompanied by drums and gongs, but now it has become a full-fledged performing art and is often performed at occasions. In this, the dancers carry out sparring and other graceful movements as per the beats of drums and other musical instruments. For entertaining the royal guests, Malaysians have their own folk dance - Inang.

Datun Julud is another popular dance form which is often recognized with Sarawak. This is a longstanding practice of storytelling, while performing dance movements. A dynamic dance form, Lion Dance is a renowned dance from Malaysia which is carried out during Chinese festivals like Chinese New Year. This dance is considered to bring good fortune and improve resistance to evil spirits. It requires perfect co-ordination and elegance on the part of dancers.
