Japan’’ s love affair with dance never seems to end. At community centers throughout the country, dance classes are always full, whether for ballet or flamenco (弗拉曼柯舞) , which consistently 【B1】______ young women, 【B2】______ ballroom dancing, which is especially popular among middle-aged and older people. Recently, the dance scenes 【B3】______ a colorful new infusion in the form of folk dances from around the world. Traditional Middle Eastern, African, and European dances, which 【B4】______ recently were virtually unknown in Japan, are 【B5】______ culture centers and community groups throughout the country. One example is belly-dancing, first 【B6】______ by women in northern Africa and the middle east, was 【B7】______ performed at celebratory occasions such as weddings.
