The video includes rare film footage of the famous “Little Egypt,” who danced her way into the American consciousness at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Interviews with belly dancers, in classes and at work, round out this picture of an ancient and fascinating art. Produced and directed by Stewart Lippe.
