dance of the seven veils
The Dance of the Seven Veils is a term used to refer to the dance performed by Salome before Herod Antipas. It is an elaboration on the biblical story of the execution of John the Baptist, which refers to Salome dancing before the king, but does not give the dance a name.
The name "Dance of the Seven Veils" originates with Oscar Wilde's 1891 play ''Salome'' in the stage direction “(dances the dance of the seven veils. )”.〔Toni Bentley, ''Sisters of Salome'', University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln, 2005, p.30-6〕 The dance was also incorporated into Richard Strauss's opera ''Salome''. Wilde's choice of title for the dance has been linked to the popularity of orientalist "veil dances" in the period and to the emergence of striptease acts.
==Biblical account==
According to ten verses of , John was imprisoned for criticizing King Herod Antipas's marriage to Herodias, the former wife of Antipas's half-brother Herod II. Herod offered his niece a reward of her choice for performing a dance for his guests on his birthday. Herodias persuaded her daughter to ask for John the Baptist's head on a platter. Against his better judgment, Antipas reluctantly acceded to her request.
The Romano-Jewish historian Josephus lists Antipas' stepdaughter's name as Salome, but makes no mentions of a dance nor makes any connection between Salome and John the Baptist.〔From Josephus' ''Jewish Antiquities'' (Book XVIII, Chapter 5, 4):Herodias, (), was married to Herod, the son of Herod the Great, who was born of Mariamne, the daughter of Simon the high priest, who had a daughter, Salome; after whose birth Herodias took upon her to confound the laws of our country, and divorced herself from her husband while he was alive, and was married to Herod, her husband's brother by the father's side, he was tetrarch of Galilee; but her daughter Salome was married to Philip, the son of Herod, and tetrarch of Trachonitis; and as he died childless, Aristobulus, the son of Herod, the brother of Agrippa, married her; they had three sons, Herod, Agrippa, and Aristobulus. 〕
