They are generally Middle Eastern restaurants, clubs or bars and belly dancers often perform regularly. Sometimes, there are special timings for the dance performance, and you can call the restaurant and ask for the show timing. If you are having a party at a restaurant, you can hire a belly dancer as part of the entertainment. Belly Dancing Restaurants often have good music too. Many customers may be regulars and come to these restaurants because of the Moroccan, Asian or Egyptian music which accompanies the belly dancers. At most Turkish restaurants in London, for example, the customers are entertained with live Turkish music and belly dancing.
The male belly dancer is also a popular feature of the Belly Dancing Restaurants, especially in the North African ones. But any kind of belly dancing restaurant can be fun, and even if there is no live music there may be a loud cassette playing to which the dancer as well as the crowds can dance away the night.
Belly Dancing Restaurants provide good entertainment for an evening. The belly dancers are not always young girls, but also middle-aged women who are still as shapely as ever and can sway their hips and chests expressing a range of dynamic emotions.
