Belly dance, also known as ‘Raqs Sharqi' (Dance from the East), is believed by many to be originally a dance practiced by women for women as part of a ritualistic fertility ceremony. Its intricate abdominal and hip movements aim to strengthen one's abdominal muscles, preparing a woman for a smoother childbirth process.
