Bellydance the origins theories

Many Belly dancers subscribe to one or another of a number of theories regarding the origins of the form. Some of these theories are that the dance form:

-Descended from dances in early Egypt
-Descended from a religious dance Temple Priestesses once practiced
-Had been a part of traditional birthing practices in the region(s) of origin
-Had spread from the migrations of the 'Gypsies' and related groups, with origins in India.
