Middle Eastern Dance...for the Joy of it!

This is a traditonal dance of the Middle East. Called "Belly Dance" in the U.S., and "Raks Sharqui" in Egypt, this dance is an expression of joy in life, which is performed to entertain at weddings and other celebrations. The view on the left was taken during a live performance at Delbert's Cafe in Eugene. Visit another tribe of dancers in San Francisco!
