In Dungeons & Dragons, a Belly Dancer is not an official class or subclass, but it can be a unique character concept, often flavored as a Bard, Rogue, or Monk. This character combines grace, charisma, and agility, using their movements both as a form of entertainment and a tool for deception, distraction, or combat. A Belly Dancer in D&D can be a master of persuasion, weaving magic or mesmerizing performances into their routines to charm, beguile, or manipulate. 

Mechanically, a Bard fits the role best, with their use of Performance, Charm, and Enchantment magic complementing the theme. College of Glamour Bards, in particular, can create dazzling illusions and exert supernatural influence over those who watch them perform. Rogues could also embody a Belly Dancer, using Dexterity for acrobatic performances and deception while employing sleight of hand or hidden daggers for unexpected attacks. Monks, especially those of the Way of the Open Hand or the Way of Shadow, could use dance-like martial arts to evade attacks and strike with precision.

A Belly Dancer could be a court entertainer, a street performer with a hidden agenda, or a mystical figure channeling divine or arcane energy through movement. They might use their abilities to gather information, distract guards, or infiltrate noble gatherings. If the campaign allows homebrew, custom subclasses could grant bonuses to charm-based interactions, evasive maneuvers, or unique combat styles that rely on dance and movement. 

This character concept thrives in social encounters, dazzling audiences, but can also be surprisingly effective in combat, relying on Dexterity, Charisma, and fluid motion. Whether enchanting crowds or confounding enemies with hypnotic grace, a Belly Dancer in Dungeons & Dragons is a performer who turns movement into magic, blending art with strategy.
