早在古埃及文明时期,埃及东方舞的雏形就已形成。当时,每逢尼罗河春汛和秋收季节,民间都要举行多种形式的庆祝,其中之一就是舞会。随着历史的变迁和艺术的发展,东方舞逐步形成了一套独具风格的舞蹈艺术和舞蹈音乐。然而,近几十年来,由于西方某些现代舞蹈流派的影响,东方舞又发生了变化,演变为现时的“肚皮舞”。 As early as ancient Egyptian civilization, the embryonic form of Egyptian oriental dance has been formed. At that time, every Nile spring flood season and autumn harvest, the people have to hold various forms of celebration, one of which is the ball. With the change of history and the development of art, oriental dance gradually formed a unique style of dance art and dance music. However, in recent decades, due to the influence of some Western modern dance genres, the oriental dance has undergone changes and evolved into the present “belly dance.”
