[i]f you want to do it - do it. you are not an egyptian dancing at a top hotel. My teacher is Egyptian and has been over here for about ten years. she choreogralphs veil dances. IMO we spend too much time trying to be authentic in every detail. egyptian style is my favourite - but when i dance it's going to be me dancing whichever way you slice it.

Very Interesting topic Ladies.
My 1st teacher used veils in our classes. I thought they were beautiful and so feminine to dance with. Although I have never been drawn to dance with the veil. But thanks to all of you, for your information(and education) I am now inspired. And Lydia, what a lovely lasting memory you create, when you give your veils to the audience. You have inspired me to follow in your footsteps. Thankyou. Lotus Dancer (now known as the veil dancer) Ha Ha |

I wish I will soon be qualified to study belly dance with veil. I have to work on my upper body moves, grrrrr! But, I just love the initial mystery when the dancer covers herself with the veil at the start, the drama unfolding and added sensuality the veil dance evokes. I'm daydreaming here, hahahaha!
 We don't have veil bd classes here but hopefully when I visit NZ soon, I'll be able to try a class, or if I'm not yet qualified, witness a class that does veils.
