If you’re looking to complete your belly dance outfit, getting the right jewelry can make a huge difference to your look.
A traditional look for much of the belly dancing jewelry is the use of coins. There is some debate about how and why belly dancers started wearing coins. Some people believe it was a good day for street belly dance performers to keep their money safe and others believe it was a way of attracting people to give tips for their performances. Another benefit of wearing coins is that they make a wonderful jingling sound when you belly dance which can add an extra flair to your performance. And they can help you to make sure that you’re hitting all the moves you need to at the right times.
