 | Belly dance Oasis for dancers worldwide | Mar 18, 2008 |
The stage lights up, the orchestra is in full swing, and into the spotlight glides, or twirls, or even walks – it doesn’t really matter as long as she grabs your attention – the dancer. Symbol of the exotic orient to many a foreign tourist, and the legacy of a tradition handed down through generations, exponents of the art of oriental dance (belly-dance to some) represent a paradox within the Islamic society they inhabit. The dancer is a powerful manifestation of female sensuality, and often, additionally, works outside the normal constraints placed on a woman’s independence. Glamorous presentation is as much an important part of her performance as technique. She provides employment to several industries, from the musicians that make up her orchestra, to the tailoring shops that design and embroider her costumes. To some it may seem an easy way to earn a living, but nothing could be further from the truth.
