Belly Dancing
Belly dancing has deep roots from Arabs, but there too is a fusion with the Kurds. In the Ottoman Empire, Kurds were mixed into the culture and certain aspects of this dance have been inspired from Kurdish traditions (such as the Kurdish Dance) and added to the dance to create what we know now.

of Venus, two fish creatures stop
on spangled legs and crawl
from the belly of the sea.
And from the planet park
they heard the new fruit drop.”
