Description: In a Riyadh fitness studio, dozens of women move to Arabic music, practising belly dance in secret. Despite their enthusiasm, none reveal their names or faces — a reflection of the deep stigma and cultural prejudices that surround the ancient dance in Saudi Arabia. Here, even closed-door all-female sessions remain taboo, yet despite this, the art form is gaining ground in the country's gyms.
