Celebrity Belly-dance Scenes & Performances From Films & TV Shows

Admin

Hi Ya'll

I am interested in compiling a list of celebrity belly-dance videos from films and TV shows.
Specially a belly dance scene that was directed/scripted to be included in a film or TV series/ show.

The definition of "celebrity" within the context of this thread are any actors and actresses with biographical data hosted on IMDB.

Not interested in Music video's
Not interested in Belly dance performances i.e America's got talent etc.
Not interested in "How-to/ instructional belly-dance" videos

I have a few videos for the purposes of this research thread but I am trying to build a list even further. Here are some that I am aware of. If possible, also add the title and actresses name because some videos may only be viewed from certain countries.

Catherine Zeta-Jones - Vittorio Gassman:

Salma Hayek ( From Dusk Till Dawn - Dancing )

Diaz & Liu's Arabic Dance in Charlie's Angels

I found this montage on Youtube but I am unsure where all the clips originated, need help in identifying them for the list:

globalnavel You're a very hard person to please. 😂 I thought it was interesting that Reese Witherspoon did not bare her belly in the belly dance scene too. I am curious as to why? Maybe she refused doing so or maybe she wanted more money? Who knows. I am just speculating. However for me, it's about compiling this list where an author added or "scripted" such scenes in their films and TV shows, regardless of whether or not bellies were bared.
