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:
“I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
