As I don't want to be accused by adepts and opponents alike because of my ignorance in this matter I prefer to leave you the link to the Wikipedia article explaining what belly dance is, the Western and the Eastern approach as well its different variants. Dancing is beyond the purpose of Barcelona Photoblog although many of the different belly dancing schools in the city well deserve some promotion. Come to think of it, I don't have any particular preference so why don't you check all there is to it at World Belly Dance or on Belly Dance Superstars. The only thing I can tell you is that watching it from a short distance is fascinating and hypnotic.

ReplyDeleteI am a bellydancer. I first saw Bellydance Superstars when I was in Barcelona in 2004.
ReplyDeleteI also took a couple of lessons by the green metro line. The women spoke Catalan, but tried to just speak Spanish when I was around so that I would feel included.
