hoochie coochie

The hoochie coochie is a catch-all term to describe any of a number of sexually provocative belly dance-like dances. Such dances, or something similar, were performed at the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London in 1851, the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876, and the World's Fair in Paris in 1889.^[1]Although such dances became wildly popular in the United States during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, there is no evidence of them being known by the name, "Coochie Coochie" until about a year after the fair closed, and "Hoochie Coochie" about a year later. Before, during and immediately after the fair, these dances were frequently called, "Mussel dance," "stomach dance," danse du ventre and sometimes, "Kouta Kouta. The transition from "kouta kouta" to "coochie coochie," and later, "hoochie coochie," may have been influenced by the expressions, "hoochy, coochy, coochy," "kutchy, kutchy," or "kutchy, kutchy coo," which were found in popular song lyrics from the 1860s and the 1880s.
