Whois & Analysis for missbellydance.com

Belly dance is an expressive dance which emphasizes complex movements of the torso.

Originally a Middle Eastern folk dance, it has evolved to take many different forms depending on the country and region, both in costume and dance style.

New styles have evolved in the West as its popularity has spread globally.

Harem pants or harem trousers are baggy, long pants caught in at the ankle.

Early on, the style was also called a harem skirt.

The original so-called 'harem pants/skirts' were introduced to Western fashion by Paul Poiret around 1910, although they themselves were inspired by Middle East styles, and by şalvar (Turkish trousers).

The term 'harem pants' subsequently became popular in the West as a generic term for baggy trousers caught in at the ankle that suggest the Turkish style, or similar styles such as bloomers, the South Asian shalwar and patiala salwar; the Bosnian dimije; sirwal (as worn by Zouaves); and the Ukrainian sharovary.

A scarf, also known as a Kremer, muffler or neck-wrap, is a piece of fabric worn around the neck, near the head or around the waist for warmth, cleanliness, fashion, or religious reasons.

They can come in a variety of different colours.

A top is an item of clothing that covers at least the chest, but which usually covers most of the upper human body between the neck and the waistline.

The bottom of tops can be as short as mid-torso, or as long as mid-thigh.

Men's tops are generally paired with pants, and women's with pants or skirts.

Common types of tops are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.

A dance costume is the clothing worn by a dancer when performing before an audience.

A dance costume may be custom designed for use in a specific dance work, or it may have a traditional design, such as those used in some ceremonial and folk dances.

Typically, dance costumes are designed to harmonize with the dance and not hinder the movements of the dancer.
