Bellydancing: A History and an Art

Bellydancing: A History and an Art 1979 Directed by Alicia Dhanifu

Filmmaker Alicia Dhanifu, who appears in director Jamaa Fanaka’s Emma Mae, constructs a rigorous and beautifully rendered history of belly dancing — its roots and history, forms and meanings. The filmmaker performs this art as well, alone and with other dancers. —Shannon Kelley
