Belly dancer in Hurghada (Egypt)

Belly dancing is originated thousands of years ago in Egypt, North Africa, and the Mediterranean, primarily it was a social, celebratory dance and a fertility ritual to prepare women for childbirth,historically performed by women for other women to celebrate femininity,and fertility, and not for male entertainment, evolving later into diverse cultural entertainment forms. 

 Egypt's traditional folklore dance and dress is both fascinating and entertaining, perfectly capturing the country's rich culture.

    I used to want to learn bellydancing, I think it would be great exercise, but now I worry I might hurt myself somehow.
