@cleopatraarchive: Raqs sharqi / belly dance is a Ancient tradition. It is considered one of the oldest dances on the world and it’s origins go back to Ancient Egyptian times. The outfits you see today are fairly new, dating back to a few decades. #ArabTikTok #egyptian_tik_tok #raqssharqi #middleeastern #middleeast #bellydancers #bellydancetiktok #northafrican #northafrica #morocco #egypt #cairo #ancientegypt #pourtoipage #danzaarabe #orientaldance
It was a tradition made by women for women, it was meant to strengthen the muscles in your abdomen so you could give birth easier.

not just Arabic countries have belly dance in their culture which means not all use the same outfits

É diferente tradicional de folclore, mas os trajes mudaram msm pra aparecer em filmes hollywoodianos a partir da déc de 50.

That makes sense bc the majority of Arab countries are Muslim so women wouldn’t be able to wear the 1st outfit bc it’d show their ahwra

they used sheer fabrics so it was see through to show the waist also these dancers in two piece dance off the street not public and the covered dress is a baladi dress for more street dance folk dance weddings
