Nejla Ateş, appeared in several Turkish and American films as an actress and dancer. She modeled on the cover of several record albums as well, most famously (or infamously) on Mohammed El-Bakkar's album "Port Said." She also performed on Broadway, in "Fanny" and became known as the "Exquisite Turkish Delight." She died in 1965 from an overdose of barbiturates.

Turkish is much more sensual that many other kinds of belly dance, for many styles the sexier moves were eliminated for many reasons. In the US they were trying to get away from the hoochy coochy image and it became very repressed for a long time to try to gain respectability.

@kraols Granted, retardation is not necessarily a natural attribute but in your case it's self-developed.
