ORYANTAL DANS ( GÖBEK DANSI )

Oryantal dansın tarihi birçok kültürel sınırı aşıyor, Orta Doğu ve Afrika'da başlıyor ve hem kültürel dans hem de egzotik eğlence biçimi olarak Batı kültürlerinde gelişmeye devam ediyor. Oryantal dans 21. yüzyılda bütün dünyada önemli bir popülerlik kazanmıştır.

Oryantal dans 6.000 yılı aşkın bir geçmişi, zengin bir tarihi olan egzotik bir dans şeklidir. Bazı insanlar oryantal dansın bir baştan çıkarma dansı olduğunu düşünürken diğerleri oryantal dansın bir doğurganlık ritüeli olarak ortaya çıktığına inanıyor.

Ortadoğu tarihi boyunca oryantal dans düğünler, doğum duyuruları, festivaller gibi özel kutlamalarda ve etkinliklerde sergilenmiştir.

Dünyanın her yerinde oryantal dans kursları, hareket özgürlüğünü öğretmek ve kadınların bedenlerini sevmelerini ve daha fazla özgüven sahibi olmalarını sağlamak için verilmektedir.

"Oryantal dans" terimi, başlangıçta geleneksel Orta Doğu dansına atfen Batılılaşmış bir isimdir. Oryantal dansın en eski biçimleri, 19. yüzyılda Mısır gawazi dansı ve 20. yüzyılda Arap dansı olan Raqs Sharqi idi.

Mısır'ın Afrika'daki konumuna ve Fransa, Türkiye ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri gibi diğer ulusların katkılarına karşın, oryantal dans terimi günümüzde genellikle Ortadoğu bölgesinin tüm geleneksel danslarını kapsayacak şekilde kullanılmaktadır.

M.S. 18. yüzyılda Mısır'a giden Fransız kaşifler, dansçıların dance du ventre (karın dansı) adı verilen egzotik bir dans sergilediklerine tanık oldular.

1893 yılında organizatör Sol Bloom, Chicago Dünya Fuarı'nda oryantal dansı Amerika'ya tanıttı. O günlerde bir kadının ayak bileğinin  görünmesi bile cüretkârlık sayılırdı. Bu nedenle oryantal dans başlangıçta riskli ve şok edici olarak görülüyordu. Dansa olan ilgi arttı ve hızla diğer şehirlere yayıldı.

Batılılaşmış oryantal dans biçimi, Hollywood film endüstrisinin dansı bir eğlence biçimi olarak tanıtmaya başlamasının ardından popülerlik kazandı. Mısırlı dansçılar Tahia Carioca ile Samia Gamal, filmlerinde gösterişli oryantal dans kostümleri giydiler ve uluslararası yıldızlar oldular.

Oryantal dans Türkiye'de 1400'lü yıllardan bu yana, çengilerce sokaklarda icra edildiği dönemden beri aktiftir. Günümüzde Çengiler halâ turistleri eğlendirmek için dans ediyor ve özgün Türk tarzı bir oryantal dans sergiliyor.

Geleneksel Müslüman toplumlarda kadınlar genellikle akşamları dans etmek için toplanırlardı. Raks Sharki (Doğu'nun dansı) olarak bilinen bu tür oryantal dans, kadınların karın kaslarını doğuma hazırlamasına yardımcı olduğu gibi, genç kadınlarca da evliliğe hazır olduklarını göstermek amacıyla yapılıyordu.

Günümüzde Mısır'da, mutlu çifti bir doğurganlık ritüeli kutsamasıyla kutsamak için bir düğünde gösteri yapması için bir dansöz kiralamak gelenekseldir.

Mısır'da oryantal dans sanatçıları sokaklarda, festivallerde ve dini kutlamalarda halkı eğlendirmek için peçe, baston ve kılıç gibi aksesuarlar kullandılar.

20. yüzyıldan önce halka açık dans yetkililerce hoşgörüyle karşılanmıyordu, ancak kültürel geleneğin bir parçası olarak kabul ediliyordu.

Daha sonra dansözler düğünlerde, gece kulüplerinde ve diğer etkinliklerde sahneye çıktı. Günümüzün geleneksel oryantal dans kostümü olarak geniş çapta kabul gören etek ve boncuklu sutyeni (bedlah) popüler hale getirenler bu Mısırlı sanatçılardı.

Modern Gün Dansı Yorumu

Oryantal dans artık eğlenceden çok daha fazlası. Çok popüler bir spor haline geldi. Oryantal dans dersleri geleneksel dansın temellerini öğretir ve oryantal dansa yeni başlayanları hareket yoluyla kendilerini ifade etmeye teşvik eder.

Oryantal dansa başlangıç ​​kursları, dansın bu güçlendirici formu hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinmeye devam etmek için iyi bir temel sağlar.

Oryantal dans karın kaslarını, uylukları, baldırları, kalçaları, kalçaları, sırt ve kolları güçlendirir ve şekillendirir.

İleri düzey dans kursları, oryantal dansın birçok farklı tarzından benzersiz hareketleri ve ayrıca geleneksel sahne donanımlarını kullanarak nasıl ustalaşılacağını öğretir.

“Becoming a Belly Dancer: From Student To Stage” is now on Amazon.com

Hey Gang!  My 2016 was DOMINATED by two publishing projects. The largest was the production of the belly dance book, “Becoming a Belly Dancer: From Student to Stage.”  This stagecraft handbook is the result of a very successful collaboration between four belly dancers.  

• Sara Shrapnell: http://letsbellydanceusa.weebly.com/ • Myself, Dawn Devine ~ Davina: http://www.davina.us/blog/home/ • Alisha Westerfeld, Photographer: http://alishawesterfeld.smugmug.com/ • Poppy Maya: http://www.poppymaya.co.uk/

This book is a compendium of tips, tools, and techniques to help belly dancers take their performance game to the next level.  Our team came from four very different backgrounds and worked together from Jan of 2015 until November 2016 to put together this information and image-filled book.  It’s over 402 pages and has nearly 1000 images, more than 700 taken by the talented Alisha Westerfeld.  Our friends and dance family members joined us for photos and we were lucky enough to be able to illustrate the scope of women and men who dance.  From new beginners to seasoned pros, pale to deep, thin to thick, glam to fusion, our book lavishly captures the entire spectrum of dance looks, shapes, ages, sizes, and more!   

***THANK YOU*** to everyone who supported our Kickstarter Campaign!!  In November of 2015, we met and exceeded our target goal by double!!  This influx of funds helped us take our finished manuscript from a mere .pdf to a finished printed text.  And although we would have preferred to produce a book in full-color, we choose to keep the costs down for our students and readers by making our interior images black-and-white.  The MSRP for “Becoming a Belly Dancer: From Student to Stage,” is $42.95, which is a deal for a book of its size and scope!

Sara Shrapnell was our glorious leader, and she crafted a manuscript that covers most of the situations that dancers will run into from those pre-show jitters before their debut, to professional pitfalls of working the restaurant scene.  The title “From Student to Stage” describes the scope of the book, which Sara addresses directly with the warmth and honesty.  She likes to describe herself as your “Teacher in Absence.” She has more than 20 years of belly dance teaching experience to pull from and has taught, quite literally, thousands of students in two different countries. Her approach is at once nurturing and supportive, and yet frank and direct.  She currently teaches in the San Francisco/Bay Area and via Skype worldwide.  She also is part of the faculty at the “Belly Dance Business Academy.”  (She’s got a few free classes there - so visit the site and check them out!)

Poppy Maya is a third generation professional dancer who has performed on three continents. Poppy is also a triple threat. In addition to being a stunning and glamorous dancer (watch her here on YouTube) she is an accomplished event hostess and promoter, as well as an up-and-coming couture costume designer!  Poppy became our principle model, working closely with Sara and I as stylists and Alisha the photographer to create polished, and frankly, stunning, looks which are scattered throughout the book.

Photographer Alisha Westerfeld joined the team to work with me to create the visual content for the book. She wore many hats in this project from taking pictures on photographic sets and in dance studios, to traveling to a wide variety of venues throughout the Greater Bay Area. In addition to taking more than 20,000 images of 60+ dancers, she became a model herself, allowing me to take a few photos of her for the book.  Alisha has traveled the world taking stunning photos abroad, and she brought to this table a refined eye and aesthetic from a lifetime of image creation.  

In addition to her photography work, Alisha spent more than a decade as an event promoter sitting on the board of the San Francisco/Bay Area chapter MECDA.  During her time with the organization, she was instrumental in hosting a series of Gala shows and one-day festivals that brought dance luminaries to the Bay Area for workshops and performances.  Stars such as Morocco of New York, Princess Farhana of Hollywood, Mesmera of Los Angeles, and Shoshanna of Arcata are just a few of her favorite dance celebrities she and her team brought to our area.  She is very active on Instagram where you can see much more of her photography. 

I came to this team as the facilitator and worked in many capacities, but the biggest project for me was assisting Alisha with the photography and photo prep for the book and then laying out the book.  As a self-published author with dozens of books under my belt, I was responsible for merging the 80,000-word text and the 1000 images into a cohesive 402-page book.  It took me just over a year of full-time work to craft this book. It is by far my largest and most complex book layout project to date.  Of course, I also helped with the writing and illustration of the three costuming chapters, served as photographer and photo stylist, and did a fair bit of modeling myself!  I made Sara a wardrobe which we featured in our DIY Costume Chapter, which is filled with useful, stylish, and most of all, cheap fast and easy, costume ideas.  

As you probably know if you’ve gotten this far and are still reading, I’ve written the best-selling belly dance costume book, “Embellished Bras,” as well as the seminal book on assuit, “The Cloth of Egypt: All About Assiut.”  I’m an independent author and publisher and my collection of books is available on my website, Amazon.com, and on Etsy.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my latest book “Becoming a Belly Dancer: From Studen to Stage.”  I hope you will keep it in mind when you are considering books to add to your belly dance library or to give a dancing friend as a gift.

Origin of Belly Dance

You never choose dance, dance chooses you . Dance has been a form of expression of joy, sorrow, devotion, enticement from the start of human race which surprisingly can be seen in fauna too. Peacock spreads its exotic fan of feathers welcoming the rain or the way flamingo dances to entice its partner .

Bellydance is a feminine sacred dance. Its originally referred as Raks Sharki meaning dance of the east or Oriental dance which draws back to 9000 years ago in Middle East, North Africa, Egypt and parts of Central Asia in pre Christ era . The core origin of bellydancing is not recorded or validated but can be theorized according to the understanding of evolution and transition of this dance form.

Feminine Divine or Goddesses Origin Theory - where nature was worshipped as God. During the paganism era where mother earth was considered sacred and powerful as she gives birth to every creation. This concept was related to a woman who also can procreate and help the human race to continue , if not the world would end. This faith or fear made pagans or some African tribes too to honour divine feminine or nature through expression of dance. Women were seen as representation of powerful energy in her body centers especially the pelvis and belly where she moves, undulates, rocks, shimmy to create and procreate as something magical. Temple dancers originated from this concept all over the world by different names in different countries. This is one theory which cannot be denied.

Fertility Origin Theory - In olden times in Arab , a mother used to train and pass on this sacred knowledge of bellydancing moves like pelvic rocking, stomach undulation to ease the pain during her puberty, encourage normal pregnancy and post pregnancy exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles and back spine. This is believable as even to this day a ganeac does suggest smooth pelvic rocking exercises for a pregnant woman .Since bellydancing has so many health benefits for a woman, no wonder its boon discovered way long back in history.

Celebration Origin Theory - In parts of Egypt, North Africa, Irak and in some Muslim communities bellydancing was a part of wedding celebration, bride hunting by a Boy's mother who used to select a dancer well swaying her hips ! Something to be noted here is bellydancing was an entertainment for women by women and men were restricted. That is how even to this day Hafla nights are celebrated just like salsa nights but in a closed circle of women.

Migration Theory - Some also believe that bellydancing has Indian influence as a lot of tribes from Rajasthan migrated to some parts of Afghanistan and carried and spread the essence of kalbelia or snake charmer dance to middle east. No wonder you can witness serpentine moves, hip bounces and twists, head slides of India in tribal fusion bellydance. A lot of these migratory travellers in Egypt also been said to have danced to earn pennies on street and would pride themselves by weaving and wearing the coins tipped made into hip scarves and other accessories. So bellydancing costumes can be easily identified by coin betls even to this day which is so much desired by a dancer and appreciated by audience !!

Whichever theory holds true doesn't matter because all the above flavors are still alive in today's Belly Dance and one thing is very true to this day. A woman is definitely empowered with this dance form or art form only made for her body, who can learn and adopt in any stage or age of her life.

This is a remastered picture from to my first underwater project. “Creating Dance Underwater“ DANCE 5: RAKS SHARKI Dance of fertility/creation. An allegory of the creative process. This is a project that explores the healing process of a given illness, and the path to optimal health. It shows a visual and experimental metaphor of the experience of people with a physical and/or psychological illness, or in a degenerative process. #creativity is shown as a fundamental and necessary characteristic when adapting to a new environment, or to physical and psychological characteristics different to those known previously. The process of continuous adaptation is implicit in the creative process. The acquisition of new skills is necessary, like those acquired when learning to dance underwater. This is the same process that must be undertaken to relearn lost skills when we recover from a physical or mental illness. Professional dancers will have to adapt their skills to the underwater environment to illustrate a metaphor which is experimental for themselves, and initially visual for the viewer. Dance is used as a symbol to represent the steps to take, both to start the creative process and achieve and develop our creativity and resilience. You can see it on https://beatrizglezsa.com/creating-dance-underwater/ #dancer: Teresa Hernández (en Mediterranean Sea) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqJ6E1LBedR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cxorgx018u60
