Sahji - Popular 1940's Black Exotic, Belly, Shake Dancer

Here's a rare performance of a black exotic dancer of the early days. There's not much footage of black exotic dancers of the old days so here's a treat. In the 1940's, Sahji was one of the most popular of the exotic dancers of her day. She was more popular within the black community, dancing at premier nightclubs and cabaret over the U.S. She was the classiest of exotic dancers. Her dancing was a mix of sexiness, sensuality, athletics, acrobatics, grace, class and glamour. She was a gorgeous petite sexy china doll of a dancer who truly captured what exotic dancing was all about. She wasn't filthy and nasty like dancers today. Sahji had class. She also made her own costumes.
