Belly Dancer

Laziza's Fredericksburg
Great entertainment and great food tonight at my favorite Lebanese restaurant. I wondered as she danced how long the Mediterranean culture has had this form of dancing. We need go no further than scripture for an answer. I remember the Song of Miriam and the women who danced and sang in celebration of the deliverance, David's dance amongst the women before the Ark of the Covenant as it made its processional journey to Jerusalem, and finally the dance of Salome for which Herod swore half of his kingdom. A long time indeed, and may it continue to entertain good folk for all time.
