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.

Famous quotes containing the words belly and/or dancing:
“her rocking horse was pain
with vomit steaming from her mouth.
Her belly was big with another child,
cancer’s baby, big as a football.
I could not soothe.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“What was dancing to you then?
We went from the high gate away
To a black hill the other side of men
Where one wild stag stared
At the going day.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
