Rihanna has taken up belly dancing to keep in shape before her Loud tour begins. Rihanna, is a Barbadian singer, model, and former beauty queen. She also serves as the cultural ambassador for Barbados. She is the first Barbadian artist to win a Grammy Award.
A friend as saying that She loves belly dancing and has been getting all her dancers to join in. They've even had a few private Arabian themed parties.
We shouldn't be surprised to see a little of this influence when Rihanna goes on tour later this year.
