Bellydance

Belly dance (Arabic: رقص شرقي‎) is a Western term for a traditional Egyptian dance form. Some American devotees refer to it simply as "Middle Eastern Dance." In the Egyptian Arabic language it is known as raqs sharqi (رقص شرقي; literally "oriental dance") or sometimes raqs baladi (رقص بلدي; literally "dance of country", and so "national" or "folk" dance). The term "raqs sharqi" may have originated in Egypt.Belly dance is called tsiftetelli (τσιφτετέλι), çiftetelli in Turkish.
