Belly Dance From Burlesque by Miles Copeland
As
it is traditionally understood, I do not find Burlesque, (meaning nudity-no

slightest when it comes to including Belly dance, an art that has suffered
too long with such unfortunate associations. I find it completely irresponsible
and detrimental.

Sol Bloom by Kharmine
Unbeknownst

heard in an English drawing room."

off, perhaps you tried to make sense of it all.

Career Path Less Traveled: Dancing in Movies and TV in the'60s,
An Interview with Tanya Lemani by John Clow
In "Get
Smart" I enjoyed working with Karen Steele and Don Adams. They took
some of my lines out and Don saw that I was upset. Don insisted that
they give some of them back to me.
