Yes that is where the slang comes from

 

Fatima's Coochee-Cocchee Dance (1896)


Directed by William Heise and James H. White this short film stars Fatima. A woman does a belly dance of sorts.


The version I saw of this had surprisingly high image quality given the age. There is not a huge amount to the film, around a minutes worth of the dance. As this early snippets of acts go this is a decent one.


3/5
