adiemus

I'm really curious to find out what some of the people on this forum think of veil. I know it's a well-established part of AmCab, but in Egyptian styling it's less a dance than a preliminary to a dance...
So... if I'm to choreo a dance where the veil becomes a major part of the dance, is that 'fantasy', AmCab, or something else? I'm assuming it's not Egyptian...

And while I'm particularly interested in veil at the moment, what about swords, trays, candles (not on a headdress), or any other props (poodles anyone?)...?
Do these fit into 'traditional', 'AmCab', or 'Fantasy'? Zills I think remain an instrument, not a prop so I'm leaving them out of the discussion at this stage.

And, final addendum, if veil is 'fantasy' or 'AmCab', does this mean that only on-traditional music or fusion music is appropriate?
The reason this came up for me is someone said that Natacha Atlas' song Ezzay is not really for 'authentic' (not sure if exactly the word used) bellydance, but good for improv or fantasy - and I would love to see a veil choreo to it!!
