Join us at our new bellydance studio, Dance Oasis @ 2964 Stage Plaza North
Memphis Raqs is a bellydance company in Memphis, TN, specializing in the art of tribal fusion bellydance, an eclectic blend of traditional dances from the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia with a hint of contemporary urban spice.
The name Memphis Raqs (pronounced rocks) comes from the Arabic word raqs which means "to dance." Traditionally, bellydance is known as raqs sharqi, meaning "dance of the East"
