This week, our popular Soft, Slow & Sensuous class met with the challenges of the veil. As some of you veil pros know, moving the veil at the best of times has its moments... getting caught in the hair, tossing over the head that just gets stuck on our head, stepping on it, caught in the hip scarf or just plain losing our grip and dropping it. Those are the moments when you just have to laugh at how funny it can be trying to manage the 2 1/2 yards of chiffon that looks so darn easy but isn't always as it appears. And which is why we're thankful for the time we have in class to perfect the art of veil before we take it out on stage. But by the end of class we'd put together a routine where each student contributed their favourite bellydance movement or travelling step and we paired it with a corresponding veil frame and transition. Before you knew it, voila...we were dancing a full routine. Then we put it into formation and practiced it again. The girls danced beautifully and the veil behaved just as it should. Well done girls...next week finger cymbals??? lol.
