Egyptian Dancers Aim to Destigmatize Belly Dancing, Seeking UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Recognition
Egyptian dancers are working to remove the negative stigma associated with belly dancing, hoping to enhance the status and acceptance of this traditional art form by applying for UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage recognition.
The dancers emphasize that belly dancing is not just a performance art, but also encompasses deep cultural and social significance. Through these efforts, they hope to change the preconceived notions held by outsiders and help more people understand the history and value behind belly dancing.
