Origins
The origins of this dance form are actively debated among dance enthusiasts, especially given the limited academic research on the topic. Much of the research in this area has been done by the dancers themselves. However, the often overlooked fact that most dancing in the Middle East occurs in a social context rather than the more visible and glamorous context of professional nightclub performance,[citation needed] has led to a misunderstanding of the dance's true nature and has given rise to many conflicting theories about its origins. Because this dance is a fusion of many different styles it undoubtedly has a variety of origins, many of which stem from ethnic folk dancing.Many dancers subscribe to one or more of the following theories regarding the origins of belly dance:
- It descends from indigenous dances of ancient Upper Egypt
- It originated in Greece, spreading with Alexander the Great
- It descends from a religious dance once practiced by temple priestesses
- It had been a part of traditional birthing practices in the region(s) of origin
- It had spread from the migrations of the Romani people (also called "gypsies") and related groups descended from the Banjara of Rajasthan[citation needed] in northwestern India
