What is your point?
My dear Elladitsa,
Belly dancing is a very wide spread dance around the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East, including India.
Its origin its not yet fully determined!
There are various theories but none is proven!
Here are the most important ones:
a) Descended from dances in early Egypt (not very widely accepted explanation)
b) Descended from religious dances ancient Greek Priestesses once practiced. ( a very widely spread explanation)
The ancient Greek women used to dance it for worshiping Aphrodite (Venus). There must have been Belly dance also through the Greek medieval times. At that time of the Byzantine Imperia the Greeks had strong cultural exchange with the Arabs and other Middle-East population.
c) Had been a part of traditional birthing practices in the region(s) of origin,
d) Had spread from the migrations of the Roma (gypsies) people and related groups. (This is probably the best explanation in my opinion although I believe that ancient influence mast exist probably from regions including Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Arabia))
(What is (probably) a Greek dance is the Greek Tsifteteli which is completely different from the Turkish version which is called also Chiftetelli. Are you sure that you are not confusing Belly Dancing with Tsifteteli.?)
(please read the bellow answer!!! Admire the culture of that person!!!)
