Goddess Belly Dance

Ancient dance style rejuvenated

Erotic dancing is a special way to express sexual feelings of a person without having sex. Erotic dancing or strip dancing has become popular all over the world in the past few years, although its origin is still unknown to us. The modern strip dancing started in the strip clubs during the early 20th century; at that time this mode of dancing was highly criticized. Later people accepted strip dancing as another form of dancing and now it is popular all over the world. If we look back in the pages of history, we can see that strip dancing was practiced in the Egyptian civilization and even before that. The modern strip dancing consists of several dance steps which was practiced at those times. The world famous belly dancing has been taken from the ancient dance erotic styles. In the ancient civilization, the priestesses would perform these dances and act as goddesses they were praying for. The modern strip dancing is quite difficult; women do not dance naked to satisfy any god or goddess. The erotic dancers perform their seductive dance to satisfy and entertain the customers of the strip clubs.

Strip dancing has become famous all over the world; thousands of strip clubs have grown up in the large and small cities. The popularity of strip dancing has also led several girls and women to leave their previous profession and shift to strip dancing. Most of the well-known strip clubs pay the strip dancers quite well. However, becoming a strip dancer is not as easy as it seems. Just getting naked and dancing in front of the spectators may not help. There are several qualities that a girl must possess to become a successful exotic dancer. Visiting a strip club is the best way to spend an evening with friends. Most men want to stay surrounded with women and alcohol and a gentlemen's club is the best place to get both of these in plenty. The well-known strip clubs of the large cities have gained so much popularity that people from all over the world travel to visit the erotic dancers of these strip clubs. The main purpose of the strippers of the strip clubs is to entertain the spectators and the more they succeed the more money they earn.

If you want to visit a strip club with your friends to spend the evening, then there are several things that you should keep in mind. First of all, you should keep pocket full of cash. The more money you stuff in the G-string of the strippers, the more time they spend on your side of the dance floor. If you sit idle in the front seat and do not spend money, the exotic dancer will move to the other end of the floor. Secondly, you should not drink too much in a strip club. Getting out of control can lead you to troubles. Thirdly, you should never touch a stripper, no matter what she does. The naked girls can dance on your lap to seduce you, but you have to control yourself.

how can i look like a goddess/bellydancer for halloween?

i dont have much money and for halloween i want to be this beautiful goddess and bellydancer like girl. any good ideas? especially diy ideas. i have a sewing machine. i also have lots of bangles and a belly dance skirt but i need alot more.
im barely 5'2" and i way 95 pounds...
i think im good

Here's my advice for how to be an Aphrodite-like goddess. I remember dressing up my baby sister as this, and she looked beautiful! I re-sized the fabric, thread, etc. amounts for your size though. This costume will fit people with...
Chest: 23" - 32"
Waist: 31" - 39"
Hip: 34" - 41"
Height: 5'1" - 5'4"
** If you are not subject to these calculations, add 2 1/2 more feet of fabric for every more 1 inch totaled to the chest, waist, and hip.

Things You'll Need:
• Sewing Machine
• 34 1/2" by 40" white fabric
• 1 standard bag of potpourri (optional)
• 10 medium-sized silk or fabric flowers
• White headband
• Hot glue gun
• 5 pieces of 6" - 8" white pipe cleaner
• 1 - 3 standard bags of white plastic gem beads
• 24" by 39" golden fabric
• Bangles (preferably silver or gold)
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Gel pen or black marker
• White spools of thread
• 2 light-colored buttons (preferably the same color and shape)
• Sewing needle

Dress Directions:
1. Wrap the long piece of fabric around you, under the armpits and at the chest level. Take your marker and mark the place on the left piece of fabric that states where the fabric ends at on the right piece of fabric. Mark it a 1/2 inch more than where it exactly is.

2. Get out your sewing machine and load the thread box with the spool of thread. Carefully put the spool of thread onto one of the loaders and slide it downwards, through the small opening through the needle. Tighten and adjust to preference.

3. Position the fabric onto the machine's platform. Position it so that the exact location of where the Sharpie marker was at is right on top of the unmarked piece. After that, put the needle 2 inches further than the top of the fabric. Then turn on the sewing machine and carefully direct the needle right through the fabric, lining up to the marked Sharpie area. When you are finished, turn off the sewing machine, and make sure that the fabric is accurately sewn. The top 2 inches should NOT be sewn.

4. Slip on your costume and see that it is accurate. It will be a little loose because of the opening, but we'll get to that later. If it is a little long, that's fine. That will be done later as well. After ensuring it is fine, take it back off and go to a surface.

5. Now, take a button and place it about 1/8 of an inch away from the top. Make sure that only 1 piece of fabric is taking in the button. Then cut a piece of 5" thread and put it through the standard sewing needle (not the sewing machine). Make a sturdy knot at the end, and then sew it through the top left hand corner hole. Hold the button down with your thumb and then sew it back up. Sew it in a cross form until it is sturdy. When it is, cut off the thread, leaving a little left and tie it in a sturdy knot. Then cut off the excess thread hanging above the knot.

6. Go downwards 1/4 of an inch and repeat Step 5, although at the 1/4 inch of a down instruction. Make sturdy.

7. Measure each button and draw lines that align up to the button area on the other side of the fabric (the one underneath that has no buttons). Fold the fabric onto the line and cut so there are 2 slits. Fit the buttons into the slots to make sure they fit.

8. Slide back on the dress. Do you like it the way it is or is it way too long? If it is too long, follow this step. Take your marker and mark the place of how long you want your dress to be. Then take it off and with the ruler, slide it sideways so that there is a horizontal "cut" line.

9. Flatten out the fabric and get your scissors. Carefully cut on that line all the way across. If it is ragged, it's okay. It will be lined up later.

10. The dress is a strapless dress. If you want straps, follow this step. Take measuring tape and have someone or yourself measure your shoulder. Record that measurement. Then measure that amount on the gold fabric, making the measurement 1 1/2 inches longer than the exact measurement. Do this twice to make two straps. Then cut them both out and lay them on the table.

11. Approach your sewing machine and align 1 golden strap bottom (the first layer of the flap) underneath the white fabric (not over the white fabric). Make sure it is aligned, and then turn on your sewing machine and sew it in, making sure that only one layer of white fabric is being sewn with the front flap of the golden fabric strip. Repeat this step for the back, by flipping back the dress and repeating this again.

12. Now that you have 1 strap, repeat Step 11 for the the other strap, making sure that it is well aligned .

13. Now you have 2 straps. Try it on to ensure that it is well-fitted.

14. Measure the bottom of your dress with a ruler for lining. Make a horizontal and vertical measurement, measuring both up and down. Only measure the front side of the dress. All you need to do to make it a full 360 degree dress measurement is by doubling each vertical and horizontal measurement. Record the measurements on a piece of scrap paper.

15. Measure the vertical and horizontal measurements on the gold fabric and carefully cut it out, making sure it is straight. Cut away any excess ragged edges.

16. Go to your sewing machine and align the golden piece halfway on the below of the white fabric dress. Make sure the golden piece is aligned halfway or else it will not work! Sew it in on the front side and then onto the inside-out back (not the second layer of white dress).

17. Turn your dress inside out and fold the golden piece that is hanging onto the inside-out side of the dress. Sew it in all the way, all the way around. Make sure it is tight!

18. Now you have a beautiful dress! Look below for directions on how to make the tiara. Wear lots of silver and gold bangles and even some nice matching necklaces (chokers are a great choice) with this elegant dress.

Tiara Directions:

1. Heat up your hot glue gun. When you know that it is heated, press a little glue onto the end of 1 pipe cleaner and stick it to the left end. Hold it for 10 seconds to make sure it sticks. Then move the other, unglued end on the pipe cleaner to the center and press a little hot glue onto that end. Press onto the middle center of the top of the headband for 10 seconds. Repeat this step except starting on the very right side of the headband now.

2. Now it gets a little more complicated. Take another piece of pipe cleaner and press a little glue on it. Place it so that it is in the middle space of the left half-circle pipe cleaner shape, and the other middle of the right half-circle pipe cleaner shape. Secure with glue.

3. Now take your last piece of pipe cleaner and put it on the top of the middle of the most upper pipe cleaner to the left. Glue the other end to the top of the middle of the most upper right pipe cleaner. Secure snuggly. Now you have a standard tiara.

4. Take your plastic gem beads and glue them all over your tiara as desired. Let dry for at least 15 minutes.

5. Take some of your silk flowers and paste them all over the top of the headband, or pipe cleaners. Make it as creative and as desired. Let dry for at least 20 minutes.

6. This is a total optional step! Although, it does make you smell pretty good, and it is pretty! Take some potpourri and paste them all over your tiara to your desires. Do it however you want them. Ha. It will make your tiara smell wonderful, just like Aphrodite. Let dry for at least 10 minutes.

7. Now you have a beautiful tiara! If you have any leftover silk flowers, you could glue them to your bobby pins or barrettes and put them all over your hair on the Halloween occasion for an even more dramatic Aphrodite look!
