"Arabic Ghawazi Dancer,1800 -Eygpt"- Rack Card by splashartworks2x

العربية الراقصة Ghawazi, or Arabic Ghawazi Dancer, comprised a lower class of dancers. These women performed unveiled in the streets and in front of coffee houses. They were hired by the working classes to perform for men’s parties at weddings and at saint’s day celebrations. It could be disputed whether all Ghawazee dancers were originally prostitutes, even though most accounts seem to state so, as another tribe of mixed Berber heritage known as the Oulid Nails had for centuries existed as a matriarchal tribe using prostitution and dance as their main source of income. One of the earliest film examples of bellydance is Fatima’s Coochee-Coochee Dance shot by Thomas Edison in 1896. Fatima purportedly came over to the U.S. as a performer in the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. Her style may have been typical of coffee house performers in Egypt, and consisted of shoulder and hip shimmies, pelvic undulations and spins—all traditional movements still seen in the dance.
