For many dancers, fascination with belly dancing lies with the exotic costumes which can change depending on the type of routine they are performing. Just like the belly dance itself, the costumes used have also diversified through the ages influenced by folklore, and many other cultures such as from Northern Africa, the Middle East and Asia, not forgetting to mention the ancient Egyptians.

Even Hollywood has made an impact due to movies it produced over the last century with many dancing costumes taking on more of a cabaret style. This has resulted in a number of accessories designed to compliment the dancing costumes enabling dancers to look and feel their best. Dancewear accessories such as: -
