Silk Flow
(open level)

Saturday, October 24
6 - 8 pm EST
Surrender control, become one with your veil & let it flow
Veilwork has been a staple of the art of belly dance for many decades. In the Middle East and around the world, the veil is mostly used at the beginning of the dancer's entrance, to amplify the dancer's physical presence, create drama, and draw the audience's attention. 

Here in the US, in addition to using the veil to create dramatic entrances to fast-paced, dramatic megeance music, you might see American cabaret style belly dancers dedicate an entire piece just to veilwork, sometimes using slow, sultry music to complement their flowy veil movements and wrapping the fabric in different ways around the body, creating an air of mystery and magic.
