Water jugs are traditional in Tunisian dance. Often with more than one
With snakes, I read an interview with Jamila Salimpour where she explained how Bal Anat with its circus focus had a man with a snake. For some reason she was left looking after the snake and had to go on stage and dance so she incorporated the snake into the act and it became a fixture. This would have been late 1960s/1970s. At this point I'd say this was the first use in association with the dance. Anyone got anything earlier?
