Bellydance Amina!Welcome to Bellydance Amina! Here you'll find information about my classes, performance schedule, Minnesota Belly dance history, and more! Just what is belly dance or belly dancing? It generally refers to a wide variety of women’s dances originating from eastern Mediterranean (Turkey and Greece) and Middle Eastern countries. This is a dance by and for women, what you could call the mother of all women’s dances! Bellydance in the United States has blossomed in the century-plus years since it first appeared in the United States at the Chicago World’s Fair in the 1890s. Since then, performances and classes across the country have blossomed into a large and varied bouquet of styles encompassing Turkish, Greek, Middle Eastern, North African, American Cabaret, American Tribal, Tribal Group Improvisation, Tribal Fusion, Steampunk, and more. It’s a fascinating and fun art form that I have had the pleasure of learning, performing, and teaching since 1995.
