Belly & Shimmies Isis Wings 101 Outdoors

Isis Wings are not a traditional prop in Middle Eastern dances and are still uncommon among dancers in the Middle East. They do however have a history of use that goes back about as far as modern Raqs Sharqi. Visual performance artists have manipulated their skirts and shawls to a degree for centuries but in the late 1800s a pioneering performer named Loie Fuller took it to a whole new level. Her dance style became popularly known as Serpentine Dance and eventually had a series of imitators.
