Gothic Bellydance, also known as Gothic Fusion Bellydance, Dark Fusion Bellydance and Gothic Tribal Fusion, is a recently founded dance art movement, distilled from the influences of Middle Eastern dance, Tribal fusion, Goth subculture, and Neopaganism. Most likely originating in Southern California at the end of the last millennium, it is practiced by amateur and professional dancers of the United States and Europe, and it is growing abroad with the spread of other tribal bellydance formats.

Famous quotes containing the word gothic:
“The gothic is singular in this; one seems easily at home in the renaissance; one is not too strange in the Byzantine; as for the Roman, it is ourselves; and we could walk blindfolded through every chink and cranny of the Greek mind; all these styles seem modern when we come close to them; but the gothic gets away.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
