The womb is the place in the body where the fetus develops until birth.

Belly is a term that identifies the part of the body of human beings and vertebrate animals that contains the main organs of the digestive and genitourinary systems.

So much so that it is established that the feet act as symbols of the earth while the arms and their respective movements function as a reflection of the freedom of the birds.

There are several movements that serve as pillars of this dance and among them is what is known as the pendulum , which is defined as a gentle swing of the aforementioned hips. Likewise, we should not overlook the twist , which is that movement in which the dancer in question performs a very fast and alternative turn.

The step three, the African circle or the Greek step are other of the most basic movements of this type of oriental dance.
