Is it acceptable to dance left handed with a cane?
Now I'm REALLY curious!Turkish drops pale in comparison.
The first teacher that taught me cane told us that if she *EVER* saw us onstage with one without at least wrapping a veil around our mid-section, she'd come onstage and beat us with our own cane! That isn't to say that "I haven't done it", but now that I have a custom made balady dress, not so much anymore....I know in cabaret scenarios, there is more liberal use of cane, i.e., balancing on the body and even dancing in a bedlah using cane instead of in a balady dress. But for folk dancing, there are "rules" if you are going to dance before certain people.
Thank you, Shanazel! I try to be helpful, but now look what happens when you encourage me...Ask a simple question and get an hour of homework to read and watch!
