The Bristol Folk House is famed for its after-hours "Dance of the Seven Army Blankets" but you'd need to be there to learn it and you need to drink at least four pints of scrumpy before starting.

When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.

Aha, I see I am not the only person on this side of the atlantic up at a ridiculous hour as usual. Yes indian princess in Dublin they do a belly dance class, its called dance of the 7 pints of guinness and you will have to work on your belly by drinking lots of stout and eating pasta to get into shape for it. When you are ready, you simply go to the nearest trendy pub, drink seven pints, let your belly hang out, and dance innapropriately, lots of people are doing it, especially girls on English hen nights in Temple Bar, its great. Heheheheheheh.

IP, there really is no dance of the seven veils. It's a romantic myth. There is no actual dance of that kind although I'm sure one could make up a dance with veils.

Have you read Tom Robbins' Skinny Legs and All?
The whole thing sort of centers around the Dance of the 7 Veils, and its metaphoric signifigance.

Oscar Wilde wrote a stage play called Salome - in French - in 1894 in which he uses that as the name of the dance. The stage-play was translated into English by Lord Alfred Douglas and Richard Strauss turned it into an opera, including the dance, in 1905.
Far and away the most notorious production was Ken Russell's 1970 Omnibus TV play "Dance Of The Seven Veils" in which Rita Webb played "Salome" in a woolen body stocking, a sight which has stuck vividly in my mind ever since I watched it. "The film caused such a row upon its initial telecast that a motion was introduced on the floor of Parliament to condemn the BBC for airing it". I'd say, in contrast, that it was one of the finest pieces of television ever.
