Veils are generally beautiful to watch. They draw the
attention of your audience in a way that no other
prop can, but skill is required to keep the veil in
motion. We will go through some basic techniques and
tricks to get you going, then develop some veil
movements and combos that you can apply to you own
dance.

Technique class on Wed 7 Nov 2007 - How to
Choreograph to Classical Egyptian Music

Whilst the best belly dance is not choreographed,
most improvisations will be to familiar music,
therefore a loose choreography will be in the dancers
mind when she goes out to perform. We will look at
how to recognise the various parts of the music,
relevant movements and how to plan your choreography
to entertain your audience.
