Do props make everything cooler?

Recommended Posts

I'm no better than everyone else. I love props! Doing a jump is cool, but it's fun to throw in a passing of a Barbie doll! Bellydancing is cool, but it's fun to do it with a cane on your head (or, in my teacher's case, a sword.)

I don't really understand why props are cool. Obviously, props can't be used all the time otherwise it loses its appeal. My guess is that it's like anything else...variety keeps people interested. However, it's when someone has never seen a skydiver, and you'll hear more "oohs and ahhhs" with someone jumping with smoke than someone just landing. A hot swoop can be just as impressive, but you won't hear any oohs and ahhs. My teacher dances with a sword on her head, which is very difficult. She gets oohs and ahhs. However, some of her most impressive moves she does is without the sword. I think that applies to magicians and jugglers, too.

OMFG THE SWORD IS AWESOME!!!!:oB|

Some friends took me to a Medeterranian restaurant last week and on Friday nights, they have a show with two pro bellydancers. Now, the show itself was hot to begin with. I didn't know the human body could move that way.:o

One girl had a tattoo of an ankh on the small of her back and it was mesmerisizing watching her entire body move, but that ankh didn't. *insert panting here*

Then one put a sword on her head, balanced on the edge, and started gyrating, twirling...the works. Never lost it once.

Yup, I was mightily impressed and if anyone doesn't call what you and Sunny are doing art, well, then they've lost their minds.:)

Have you been bit by the bellydancing bug, too? :P

One of my teachers dances with two canes!!! :D That's how she got her fame here in Chicago. But, since it's what she's known for, everyone wants to see it, she does it all the time, and she's getting sick of it.
