Bellydance Museum

public - created 01/23/07
This is the place for discussions on the roots of what we call nowadays "Bellydance". Some say bellydancing originated from birth rituals, others simply state it's origins are rooted back to the gypsy dancers of India, middle Eastern folklore
, or even Goddess worshipping. Feel free to jump a topic.
