I am sorry if I revive an old tread i am just interested in this topic, I am a goth girl and I want to combine two things I am interested in. Gothic lifestyle and dress and bellydance. Now I do not mean to offend anyone. And I know very little aboute bellydance so I can not say what is or what is not bellydance. But if one use the same movements and steps as in bellydance, shimmy, snake arms, temple arms, traveling steps and so on and so on, and wear bellydance inspired costumes, just whit a darker twist and dance to ghotic music, are one not still dancing bellydance. A waltz is still a waltz if one dance it in disco clothes and under a mirror ball. I might be wrong as I am a complete beginner, but is it not the steps and movements that define somthing as bellydance and not the costumes or music one dance to.
