Today I want to share a selection of YouTube clips that showcase the various props that are available to dance with. We all know the basic veil, but here are some alternative options.
Enjoy!
This is not traditional belly dance, but it is something quite unique. . .
A beautiful costume and an amazing dancer with not only one, but THREE sets of Isis Wings!
I'm personally not a fan of saidi, but I like their colourful costumes and the use of patterns during the dance
Stunning fan veils in action
Some dangerous fire moves to a medley of music
Some zill magic by Zoe Jakes and Ashley Lopez
There are many more props available, but I hope this has inspired you to investigate all the different props found in belly dance to add to your performance. But always remember these wise words: props do not take the place of perfect basic technique. A prop must never be used to hide the fact that you are unable to do even the most basic of Belly Dance steps.
Have a lovely weekend!
Happy Shimmying!
