Moroccan belly dancer Maya Dbaich stands on a tabla instrument as she dances at a wedding in Egypt's capital Cairo on July 31, 2014. - Regarded for centuries as the origin of belly dancing, Egypt has seen its dance community shrink, largely due to the profession's increasing notoriety, and the authorities' broadening crackdown on freedoms.
