Modern dance consists of dancing to different music such as African. I consider it to be most like jazz in how your body moves and what muscles are being used; however, it doesn't use the same moves. The moves are sum what like yoga in that you express your body's energy and "flow" through dance.
The terms "belly dance" and "Oriental dance" are both misnomers for what has become a modern blend of many folkloric and ethnic dances from the Middle East and North Africa. In Egypt, the dance is called "raks sharki" and in Turkey it is called "Dans Oryantal." So, in short, yes they are the same, however there are many sub-genres of belly dance as well.
It is actually very simple! In dance and voice, including nearly every other use of the word, it means syncronized, in time with each other, or like when many people do the same things at the same time.
