Hello Everyone, I think veils are an 'authentic' part of Oriental dance, as I agree with Aisha's interpretation. The evocative nature of dancing with a veil is well-suited for this dance style. In no other dance style will you see advanced uses of swirling fabric used as an extension of the dance, esp. in American Oriental.
