Coin Skirt

For many dancers, fascination with belly dancing begins with the exotic costuming. The heavy coins and elaborate silver bracelets and earrings of the folkloric belly dancer appeal to the earthy, sensual goddess archetype inside a woman. The sophisticated cabaret glamour of beaded bras and wide belts, with their sparkling fringe, silky skirts and veils, transform a dancer into a mystic princess.

Modern belly dancing includes movements and costume elements from around the world: elegant beaded dresses and jingling coin costumes from Turkey, Egypt and Lebanon; scarves, choli tops and colorful skirts from India; embellished bracelets and rings from Morocco.
