Who is this dancer?

This image is from a scene in the movie Shatie el Hob, which is sold on DVD under the title Love Beach. It was released in 1961, and stars Farid al-Atrache, Samira Ahmed, and Tahia Carioca. (Carioca does only 7 seconds of dancing in the entire movie, even though the role she plays is that of a dancer in a seedy nightclub.) The dancer in this image performs in the movie in a scene where an engagement party is underway, during the instrumental interludes of a song by Farid al-Atrache.

Does anybody know who this dancer is?
