In the artist's words:

Oriental dance is a very original dance with a millennia-old tradition. In the Arabic world this dance is called "Raks Sharki". Due to the literal translation "Dance of the East", the German term "Orientalischer Tanz" is correct. Popularly known as "belly dance", this term incorrectly reduces the diversity of Oriental dance and the skills of the dancers to the belly, hips or buttocks. The belly is the power center of the dance and from there, as in all dances, the arms, legs, hands, feet, shoulders and head are also moved.
This dance requires the dancers to have full control over their bodies, dance technique, musical knowledge and a very good sense of rhythm. Throughout history, belly dance has undergone numerous changes and so belly dance as it exists today is a mixture of Arabic tradition and Western influences. The popularization of the dance led to the development of different styles.
