| Shira's Feedback |
Hooray, a "real" belly
dancer! |
The scene with dancing is about 5 minutes long. Tony Randall's
character is entertaining his fiancée and her parents
for dinner, and his genie conjures a tent scene for the occasion
complete with dancing girls. First a group of dancers emerges,
doing very simple belly dance traveling moves such as hip-sway
walking and step + hip lift. They wear costumes foreshadowing
the I Dream of Jeannie television show and dance for about 60
seconds. Then Lulu Porter comes out in a belly dance costume
with coin bra/belt set and chiffon skirt and does a performance
that goes for about 1 1/2 minutes. It offers a taste of what
belly dancing was like in the U.S. in the 1960's.
