Purpose: To give people who have never worked with a veil a brief introduction.
Contents: This includes a small veil demonstration, holds, tips, and the Snowflake.
I LOVE veil! It was my first prop and holds a very dear place in my heart. In the proper use of your veil, you learn so much about balance, coordination improvisation, turns, and line. I feel like I am always a student of this truly magnificent dance partner. In this segment I included a few veil hand holds, tips for working well with your veil, and a lovely move my students nicknamed the snowflake. The move uses the fall of the veil in front of your body to create the effect of gently falling snow.
