| | The State Folk Dance Conspiracy: Fabricating a National Folk Dance |
| | Club square dance uses recorded music rather than live music, often choosing popular music over any form of music that might have been originally associated with traditional square dancing. | | | Recorded music is a rarity at traditional dances. | | | The United States has designated only five national symbols in its entire existence: the flag, the Great Seal, the national anthem, the bald eagle, and the American rose. |

| | Belly Dancing: Dance Styles Used In The U.S. |
| | At the same time, the Egyptian music industry was undergoing a 20th-century transformation of its own, and a form of music known as Egyptian classical music was born. | | | They disparage the idea of "flirting with the audience" and instead prefer to use this dance form to explore their ideas of sisterhood with fellow dancers, celebrate "woman power", discover new meaning to their own femininity, explore experimental directions, or otherwise use the dance for a personal journey. | | | It was only natural that the music of Egypt's popular composers would be used by its leading dancers in their performances, so Egyptian dance rapidly evolved from its folkloric roots into a complex, subtle form that matched the intricacy of the classical music. |
