EXPERIENCE BELLYDANCING BY VALERIA
\nThere have been many theories about the origin of belly dancing, but most evidence links it to the Middle East and Africa. Some say it was originated by the Phoenicians; others claim that it was introduced into Egypt by the Turks. Egyptian tomb paintings dating from as far back as the fourteenth century BC depict partially clad dancers whose callisthenic positions appear to be very similar to those used in belly dancing.<\/p>\n
Tonight \u2013 since we are spolighting TURKEY this month and on April 1 have our TURKISH NIGHT \u2013 you will have a little taste of Turkey by VALERIA, who will perform also on April 1. The danse du ventre (literally belly dance) of Turkish origin was introduced to Paris by Turkish women. They exhibited it in Midway Plaisance of the Colombian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, and then at the California Midwinter Exposition in San Francisco. As performed by Turkish women the dance consists of control and movement of the abdominal and chest muscles; hence its other name \u2018muscle dance\u2019. Varied with graceful steps and gyrations, cymbals an scarves, it was performed solo, accompanied by male Turkish musicians with Turkish instruments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
