Considered to be one of the oldest known dances, the magic of belly dancing has
enchanted audiences world-wide for generations. Traditionally rooted in the Middle East and the
Arabian Peninsula, belly dancing made its debut at the 1893 World
Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where
audiences were shocked and mesmerized by the beautiful art form.
In order to fully celebrate the Arabian Nights Event at Delmanor Northtown, the intrigue and mystique of Arabian belly dancing was brought to the residence!
The
evening started off with a delicious 4-course Arabian dinner which included a fattoush
salad, an exotic lentil soup, and specialty Arabic dishes prepared to tantalize
the taste buds. The lounge was transformed into a Sultan’s tent with gold and
maroon accents lighting up the space. As residents and guests walked in, they
were quickly transported to another time and a distant, exotic place.
The
belly dancer entered the tent with rhythmic music and prepared for her first
dance - the Assyrian Sword Dance. Music from Egypt and Turkey that has
sustained the sands of time played as the gorgeous belly dancer showed 10
different dances that represented all of the regions of the Middle East.
The
audience was captivated and delighted with the authentic Arabic experience. The wonderful dinner and entertainment complimented each other perfectly!
Another fabulous event at Delmanor Northtown!
