Belly Dance by Shruti Kulkarni

Belly dancing stemmed from the country Egypt. It happened to be a folk dance that offended a lot of people, as they considered showing an ankle or any part of your body a felony, they then were refrained from performing in Cairo, in the 1830s. But America loved the dance form so they took it upon themselves to perform, belly dancing then became famous in the Middle East and Europe.
