Quoting elham: Quoting alameda: The term Belly Dance was it seems, invented by the French, who called it La danse du ventre. In Egypt is was called Raqs Sharqi or Baladi dance. It can or can not be art...then what is Art?
Traditionally "good girls" did not do it in public. In fact in most Middle Eastern societies it is tantamount to being a prostitute or very close to it.

as you said alameda Belly Dance called Raqs Sharqi or Baladi dance, but in In Egypt men are not dancing belly dance because men dance is not any attraction but particularly for women contents of the attraction |
Actually Elham,men in Egypt do dance Raqs Sharqi,or belly dance,when they want to dance oriental.
Their movments some of them same like women's do,others are different
For that sorts of dances there are no professional men dancers,its simply the way men dance when they want to dance traditional dances.
And they dance Baldi dances too,different from the belly dance with some moves and steps ,and its only for men and they sometimes dance solo and sometimes escort women by it while dancing too
And for that sort of dances on a professional level, there was a well known man dancer called Mahmoud Reda,im sure you've heard of Reda group
And yes,they used to dance in long clothes,and sometimes they still do too.
İts not about attraction,its just traditional dances,its how women and men dance when they want dance sharqi dances,and im not talking about professional levels here.
A professional levels is something else.
Not anyone can belly dance really well,if anyone would try it,would find it not easy and needs lots of flexibility,try it and you will see.
Belly dancing not just showing bodies movments,its how you move your body over the music so if anyone lower the music,you can almost feel it from the dancer movments and steps.
And THAT is an art,not anyone capable of.
And that is why you would find Egyptian belly dance is different than Lebanon's belly dance,different than Turkish belly dance,and so on
Some you would feel they are doing some exercises not dancing,and some are really good.
İ agree there are ,or i may say lots of dancers just dance to gain men's attraction,thats why there are not many good dancers nowadays.
And what they do,i can hardly call it art !
But there were legends in dancing,specially in the past.
