Belly dancing in Egypt?

Question

Would you mind if you wife took up belly dancing classes as a hobby, if you are a female would you ever do it?

Answer 1

well egyptians really seem to be programed with the ability to bellydance but i understand ur question. A normal egyptian man would not want his wife to bellydance even as a hobby mayeb at a wedding it might be fine but not other than that.

Personally i wouldn't take a bellydancing class just for the simple reason that i don't think i would feel comfortable

I didnt mean to offend anybody about their husbands or their wifes or about themselves

Answer 2

Belly dancing is a very healthy hobby. it is good for the body. i grew up belly dancing. Every now and then, i just put on music and dance away.

Answer 3

I did learn to do some belly dancing. When i lived in Luxor, there were 2 girls who used to belly dance in the hotels & clubs, living in the flat across the street. I asked my hubby if he would be ok with me asking them to teach me. He said he was happy & spoke with them for me. Very nice girls & so kind not to laugh at my attempts at it.

In the end, i am a very laughable novice, but my hubby is ace at it, when he & his sister dance = there is magic. I do have some good costumes for any fancy dress party that comes up , out of the experience.

When we went to Hurguarda for a holiday, we went into a club one night to see the dancers, the woman wasn't very good & i was disappointed; but my hubby's so cute & she noticed him & kept calling him to dance with her. BIG mistake, he was so much better than her, she got so mad, lol.

I have been lucky though, while in Cairo, i had the good luck to see 'Lucy', it cost us a fortune, but it was worth every pound.

@ Mura, i guess its because i'm English that he didn't mind. Anyway, my husbands not normal, lol.

@ No prob Mura, no offence taken, i was laughing.

Answer 4

No problem, but to be learned by a woman,

for the other part of the question, lol, i can't imagine I'm a female taking belly dancing classes !!!

Answer 5

belly dancing classes are very popular in England as a way of keeping fit and exercise.sadly i live in a rural area and when a class started up in my area it was only able to run for a  year. but we had a wonderful time dancing and yes i was rubbish, but it was such fun. The one thing it taught me more than anything else was just how much control you needed over your body to do it well. our teacher learnt mostly i think from Turkish people and she was brilliant, she was astonishing to watch and i was amazed at the number of different moves and steps and hip wiggles. as for the Egyptian walk well if i practiced from now to dooms day i would never master it. Its great fun and i would recommend it to any lady looking for some exercise.

one thing that she explained to us is that a lady would never do this in public and only when there were other women around and not men. i have also been lucky enough to be invited to several parties when ladies have been dancing for each other and at weddings. egyptians learn how to dance from being tiny, thats why they're so good at it. I have a friend with a little boy whos not much more than one year old and he was jigging up and down to the music before he could walk. egyptians girls can dance so well and they make me jealous, even the men dance better than i. its embarrasing to see how inadequate i am next to them. but i love to watch.
