Doujin manga, even the ones that wouldn't comply with The Content Policy, go with the rest of Anime and Manga examples.
* A doujin called ''The Moon and the Dancer'' takes place in a desert country, where a Japanese business representative tries to start a business relationship between the oil sheiks and his company. During his stay, he meets with a representative from the sheiks, who begins to fall for him. Some time later, at a party celebrating the new business deal, the Japanese rep thought he would never see his new acquaintance ever again...until she shows up at the party as the belly dancer for the party's entertainment, both greatly surprising him and leading the two into a romantic night together.

that something went wrong when I tried to copy and paste the examples for Anime and MangaChanged line(s) 25 (click to see context) from:
to:
* ''Manga/AiKora'': Ever since Hachibei discovered that Ayame has the perfect waist that he's been looking for, Ayame learned how to belly dance for whenever she wants to get Hachibei's attention. A very good example of this is in chapter 24, where Ayame and Haiji (who happily swings the other way, it seems) compete for Hachibei's affection. Ayame whips out a tropical dance costume and begins to perform in front of Hachibei and the rest of the school.
* ''[[VideoGame/BlueDragon Blue Dragon: Trials of the 7 Shadows]]'': In Episode 9, the group comes across Donna and Reina, two twin dancers who have the power to steal the souls of jealous people. They were originally penniless on the streets, losing their money to other beautiful dancers until Mikheil offered the two Dragon Scales, which made them appear more beautiful and gave them their soul-stealing powers.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': One of the many Picture Dramas, set before the China Arc of the second season, shows Lelouch, C.C., and Kallen sneaking into the Chinese Federation to scout around under the guise of three belly dancer sisters. The FanService of C.C. and Kallen in skimpy outfits and ''interesting'' poses is contrasted with the ([[AttractiveBentGender admittedly pretty]]) Lelouch showing up at the end and Geassing all the men in that place to believe they are pigs (after getting hit on by them, with one even showing appreciation even after his real gender is revealed). Needless to say, it's a very silly situation that has the extra bit of funny that ''somehow'' the resident ManipulativeBastard Lelouch got convinced to crossdress, which he ''absolutely hates''.
* ''Anime/EntakuNoKishiMonogatariMoeroArthur'': In one episode, Arthur and his friends stumble upon a castle full of beautiful, half-clad women that wear belly dancer outfits that show a lot of their upper halfs. It's all an elaborate HoneyTrap, but the heroes fall for it, and one of the women stumbles upon the bathing men, he gets so excited he jumps out of the bath naked.
* There is a belly dancing scene in episode 6 of ''Anime/GargantiaOnTheVerdurousPlanet'', featuring Amy, Saaya and Melty. [[RuleOfSexy It's still a bit unclear]] as to why their costumes were rather skimpy for their ages as well as the beloved festival for which they were performing. Following supplementary material would inform that during the festival's time, young girls dancing on stage in dancer outfits is more or less a cultural tradition on Gargantia.
* ''Literature/{{Gosick}}'': Episode 6 reveals the origins of Cordelia Gallo, whom came to Saubreme after being shunned by her home village. She began to work as a dancer at a cabaret, and managed to catch the attentions of [[spoiler: Marquis de Blois.]]
* ''Literature/TheHeroicLegendOfArslan'', being a HighFantasy set mostly in the Middle East during its Golden Age, is rife with [[{{Stripperiffic}} scantily-clad]] Belly Dancers. We even see one of them in one episode and even in the [=OVAs=].
* Shino from ''Anime/LegendOfHimiko'' is a very sensuous belly dancer. You see her dancing for a few soldiers, who became allured by her performance.
** ''Anime/LupinIIIPartII'':
** Episode 17 - ''[[Recap/LupinIIIS2E17 Go For the Oildollar]]'' [[note]]''Sheik-Down'' in English[[/note]]: In order to get closer to Lawrence the Third and his men, Fujiko disguises her as a dancer while Lupin and the guys dress up as her band; the performance manages to appeal to Lawrence, telling Fujiko to meet him in private after her performance.
** Episode 22 - ''[[Recap/LupinIIIS2E22 Search the House of Mystery Women]]'' [[note]]''Lupin In Paradise'' in English[[/note]]: A group of dancers perform for Lupin and Zenigata, mainly to distract from the fight between Jigen/Goemon and the lady warriors of the house.
** Episode 30 - ''[[Recap/LupinIIIS2E30 The Wind is Hot in Morocco]]'' [[note]]''Moroccan Horror Picture Show'' in English[[/note]] : In the very beginning of the episode, a beautiful belly dancer, complete with a hourglass figure and a teasing costume, is shown amongst the street performers, immediately capturing the gaze of Lupin, Fujiko and Jigen. Once Fujiko starts trying to mimic the dancer's movements out of slight interest/jealousy, the dancer reveals to be impressed with Fujiko's mimicry; she beckons for Fujiko to dance with her, leading to a dual performance by the two.
* ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'', being a HighFantasy set mostly in the Middle East during its Golden Age, is rife with [[{{Stripperiffic}} scantily-clad]] Belly Dancers. We even see Morgiana try it at some point.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'': In the Alabasta arc, Vivi asks [[ChivalrousPervert Sanji]] to get all of them some clothes like the local citizens, so they won't stand out as much. The boys all got burkas. The girls? Dancing Girl Outfits. His excuse was that 'dancing girls are citizens too!' If Nami hadn't liked it so much, he would probably be lacking a few vital organs.
* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'': The second movie ''Tiger and Bunny: The Rising'' featured Karima Graham, a villainess who dressed like a dancer and fought against the heroes with large circular blades and the power of illusion. Turns out her costume wasn't just for appeal, as [[spoiler:the movie reveals that she used to be a dancer at a cabaret until Barneby's new promoter bought out her business, leaving her with a loss of purpose.]]
