Description
Belly dance is primarily a torso-driven dance, with an
emphasis on articulations of the hips. Unlike many
Western dance forms, the focus of the dance is on
relaxed, natural isolations of the torso muscles, rather
than on movements of the limbs through space. Although
some of these isolations appear superficially similar to
the isolations used in jazz ballet, they are sometimes
driven differently and have a different feeling or
emphasis.
In common with most folk dances, there is no universally
codified naming scheme for belly dance movements. Some
dancers and dance schools have developed their own
naming schemes, but none of these are universally
recognised.
Belly dancing was repopularized in the early 2000s by
Latin American superstar Shakira. Her Colombian and
Lebanese heritage has influenced her dance style, and
her dance routines often combine some belly dance
movements with other dance styles.
The Brazilian novella O Clone (also known as El Clon in
Spanish-speaking countries and the United States) is set
in Brazil and Morocco and featured belly dancing in many
episodes. The lead character, Jade (Giovanna Antonelli),
used it to entice her lover Lucas (Murilo Benício) and
to soothe and seduce her husband Said (Dalton Vigh).
Several James Bond films (including From Russia with
Love) have featured belly dancers. In The Man with the
Golden Gun, the belly dancer Saida wears a spent bullet
in her navel, which Bond accidentally swallows while
trying to retrieve it.
Documentaries about belly dance include American
Bellydancer, Journey of Desire: A Foreign Dancer in
Cairo, Belly, Sensual... Scarred... Sacred, and
Bellydancers of Cairo.
