Is it me, or did she look like she was about to topple over when she was spinning?

I blame the 60's.

That's why we must eat, drink...

She's definitely a real belly dancer. Her name is Lorraine Shaloub aka "Little Egypt".

Quoted from Aziza Sa'id's Belly Dance Site:

Quote:
"Regarding the 'Little Egypt' sighting on the tv re-run Banacek, I can confirm Morocco's post that this was the dancer known as Little Lorraine Egypt, who often performed as 'Little Egypt', and that she moved to the West Coast. I believe that she is now divorced from her manager/husband. When I spoke with Lorraine several years ago regarding her career, she mentioned her tv appearances (also incl. Batman) but seemed most proud of her performances that benefited charities including St. Jude's Children's Hospital." --Donna Carlton

"Yes, I remember her dancing on 'Batman', in an episode with Burgess Meredith as the 'Penguin' running for mayor of Gotham City. Sounds as if Ms. Shaloub's had an interesting career." --Paul

I think my favorite appearance of belly dance in prime time tv had to be the episode from the 1960's incarnation of Batman where the Penguin ran for mayor, and a belly dancer did a very energetic performance to music played by Paul Revere and the Raiders at the Penguin's campaign party. --Shira


...and MAKE LOVE TO LIFE.
