LOL!
Bellydancing has an interesting history.
What most westerners think is arabic is really American. Little Egypt was really a US working girl(or girls) and the orginal dancers brought to America for the 1890 Worlds Fair were heavily dressed Ghawazi.
Those costumes? We invented, Badia Masabni took back in the Casino Opera.
Same goes for Veil dancing, heavy upper chest moves, “Harem Girls”, the jewel in the belly button etc.

Even the name “Belly dancing” was a Western invention.
It’s real name is Danse Oriental or Raks Sharki (the people’s dance)
Ha ha ha ...serves these dog-hating Arab jerk husbands well.
