Which country is the source of belly dance?

One of the world's oldest forms of dance, belly dance, also known as "Raks Sharqi," is an oriental solo dance that emphasizes abdominal movements. Originating in the Middle East, belly dance was first practiced as a religious ritual, recounting the cycles of nature and human reproduction, celebrating women's fertility, and celebrating the mystery of life. This explains why belly dance is based on abdominal swaying and requires bare feet, in order to maintain a connection to the land. This dance form gradually developed into a folk art and eventually became a unique form of entertainment and performance widely popular in the countries of the Middle East, and is one of the wonders of the mysterious Arab cultural court. As a beautiful body art, belly dance through the pelvis, hips, chest and arm rotation and dazzling crotch swing action, shaping the elegant sexy and soft dance language, give full play to the feminine beauty of the female body. It is a whole-body exercise that allows your legs, abdomen, shoulders and neck to be fully active, thus improving the elasticity and flexibility of your body. The movement of the arms is very important as it expresses the grace and delicacy of the dancer. It is not just a movement, it also creates a spiritual bond between the mind and the body. You can be as joyful and free as a butterfly, an ocean wave, or a flowing stream. As you dance, the Goddess in you makes you more graceful, powerful and sensual. It is the dance of a lady exploring herself, an adventure into her body and inner world.
