This book examines the globalization of belly dance and the
distinct dancing communities that have evolved from it. The history
of belly dance has taken place within the global flow of
sojourners, immigrants, entrepreneurs, and tourists from the
nineteenth to the twenty-first century. In some cases, the dance is
transferred to new communities within the gender normative
structure of its original location in North Africa and the Middle
East. Belly dance also has become part of popular culture's
Orientalist infused discourse. The consequence of this discourse
has been a global revision of the solo dances of North Africa and
the Middle East into new genres that are still part of the larger
belly dance community but are distinct in form and meaning from the
dance as practiced within communities in North Africa and the
Middle East.
