A female dance seen in Islamic cultures from Western Asia to the north coast of Africa. Also called Oriental dance, it is characterized by quick hip-swaying movements. It is said that dances involving the shaking and twisting of the belly and hips are particularly prominent in peoples who live in desert regions. This is because on sandy ground, where the ground is not solid enough to jump or stomp, the movement of the feet and hands is restricted, and the dance focuses on the movement of the torso with the feet fixed, a movement often seen in the dances of women of the desert people, such as the Bedouin.

西アジアからアフリカ北岸のイスラム文化圏にみられる女性の踊り。オリエンタル・ダンスともいい,腰をすばやく振る動きに特徴がある。胴体(belly)や腰を振ったりひねったりする踊りは,砂漠地帯に住む民族に特に顕著であるという説もある。これは飛び上がったり足踏みできるほど堅固な地面でない砂地では,足や手の動きは制限され,足もとを定めて胴体の動きに重点を置く踊りとなるというもので,砂漠の民であるベドウィンなどの女性の舞踊の中によく見られる動きである。
