No. Regular wives belly dance within <span style="font-weight: bold">that culture</span>. Then and now.

So did courtesans (members of the Court who were &quot;professional ladies&quot and concubines (mistresses), yes.

Belly dance (the only form of dance in <span style="font-weight: bold">it's cultures</span>) was for everyone. This is still true today. </div></div>

which culture are you referencing?

years ago there was a television series on dance across various cultures, and when it came to belly dancing, it was described as something women with no prospects did for a living. it was not quite seen as respectable.

Re: Aw skip it

I have no problem with belly dancing... Honest... but it origins was to tittilate..much the same as the pole has evolved to the sex industry. Pole dancing was in the Circus in the West. The indians had a version of pole dancing... But pole dancing is hard....I am sure there is a sequence that Ginger Rogers danced with a pole...

On sky tv on the UK last Saturday there was a reality program street dance Got to Dance ...there were two pole dancing acts, one was a former ballerina. Both acts blew me away both in its complexity... Ashely Banjo one of the Judges who is a professional dancer could not do the moves, neiother could another of the judges Adam Garcia (a London West End dancer) Both had a go at it .the demand for upper body strength. Normal dancers get the power from the legs a more powerful set of muslces. On the pole more use is made of shoulders and arms ..Circ Du Soliel has had a number of brilliant pole dance routines tjat are phenomenal...

Dance is dance, belly dancing frankly is boring IMHO to watch. But the pole adds variety, and I have seen it in used as part of a routine number of modern ballets, Last was a Matthew Bourne production at Sadlers wells (..The pole evolves dance more into three diemensions, giving more liberty to a practisioner in the vertically) ..

This is Goldilocks by the way.

I am so proud to be the one who gave her her basic training. Her career has really taken off. She travels all around the world. That is why she hardly stops by any more. I remember she mastered the headtop cutlass very quickly and it became here signature move. She has taken it to an whole new level.

She dances in Dubai sometimes with xigaM and derek. She grew her hair so she no longer has to wear blonde wigs. This was after she grew her hair but before she dyed it blonde:
