I have opened up a can of worms huh?!! LOL
I didn't include cane because that's a different form of dance, hadn't heard of goblets... must rush to YouTube for a peek! Votive candles I hope not, although I have seen some lovely 'fantasy' dances with them - shemadan yes definitely.
Please let's not have AK47's!!! Would compete with the drummers...!
So in AmCab would you always have a programme that included veil? with a different style of music?
The style of veil I've seen in Egyptian was almost like a covering that wasn't really danced with, more just an addendum that gets put down before the 'real' action gets going...I quite like the veil but I'm not sure whether to pursue learning more just because I like it, or whether I'm going to trespass on some unwritten 'rule' about whether it's appropriate in more Egyptian styled dance. I love the Egyptian style dance, it's so effortless and minimilistic and would love to emulate it.

Poodles in costume - Janaki you make me laugh!! Have seen poodles dyed to match their owners' hair....!!
