How many gentlemen today have experienced a lap dance at a local strip joint? Strip joints and lap dances have been around for a long time. Well, here is something that has been around even longer. How many guys have experienced a Belly Dance? I for one, very seldom. I say this because, aside from a bachelor party or two that I have been invited too. Years of work, and very little time for self indulgence; has left me with, missing out on some of the finer pleasures of life. I've been to a strip club as recently as about 3 years ago with some friends. But, recently I was invited to a party where a belly dancer was hired to entertain us. I guess because I am older now, and a bit more refined. Like aged cognac accompanied by a smoothed cuban cigar. Romeo y Juliet being my favorite. A well preformed belly dance is just that.

It was very provocative and classy. I enjoyed it so much that I think when ever I get bored.. I will think about hiring a belly dancer to come home and entertain me. You know, I would do this with the intention of seeing if it will wake up my wife. You see after 26 years of marriage either I am boring, or she has become boring.. None the less, either she will wake up and try to mimic the dancer, hit me over the head with a broom out of embarrassment, Or I will get a good night belly dance as a night cap while she is asleep... Just joking!!

Here is a video documentary on belly dancing done by a 3 year university student in Orlando. Her first non scholastic documentary film project. She is now finishing her bachelor's in liberal arts with a dual major of business & film production with minor in communications at University of Central Florida. When she finished her project and showed it to me.. I was so proud of her that I had to share it with you.. She is my daughter Nicole.. Many blessings to her always on her chosen career in film production & communications.

I teach belly dance, as well, and at first recoiled at "strip clubs", but then the great segway, "but here's something that's been around even longer" was a good call. I appreciate the article as a dancer and a teacher

You are so correct.. It is very classy.. I was just trying to make the article funny, and entertaining... From the documentary I learned much.. yet, also included the strip joint statement because it is most identifiable here in the west... not to compare.. just having fun... My daughter understood that it was a way of getting attention and understanding that there are difference.. the video says it best.. just having fun fantasizing.

Congratulations to your daughter on her project, but I'm disappointed you learned so little from it that you can mention bellydancers in the same breath as lap dancers or strippers.

Most bellydancers would never dance at a bachelor party - or a private party for you and your wife, either. They never strip and they certainly never offer any other favors!

Belly dancing is sensual, cheeky and sexy but it is classy not sleazy. It's family entertainment not for ogling.
