Melbourne Belly Dance - February 2021

Picture

Whats Love got to do with it?

February is known for Valentine's Day and always associated with love and everything related.  What else does February offer? Well this year the Chinese New Year offers us yet another reason to celebrate. 2021 is the year of the Ox for the Chinese Zodiac . Oxen are the hard workers in the background, intelligent and reliable, but never demanding praise. What Chinese Zodiac Symbol are you? 

We are taking February to make a few changes to our business. You might notice some of these things as we make the transition in our communications and social media. Exciting things are in the future! 

Happy Valentines Day and Chinese New Year!
Brevard Belly Dance

History of the Veil

Brevard Belly Dance is offering a Specialty Class in March featuring a choreography with a veil. Here is a very brief history of the veil.
​The use of the veil in belly dancing (Raks Sharqi) was made popular by Samia Gamal ( A belly dance legend during the first half of the 20th century) who used the veil to improve her arms carriage.
Since then, more and more belly dancers started using a veil as a prop.
In Egyptian belly dance  the veil is only used briefly at the start of the performance during the entrance.
American dancers instead have made an art of the veil as a prop.
In American belly dance style, the veil is used in a lot of different ways. Dancers usually enter on stage with the veil wrapped around their costume, which is then unwrapped and made to spin with dexterity. American belly dancers have also invented the use of two or multiple veils at the same time.
