Veil dancer

Fluidity of motion or symbol of cultural oppression.

I'll dance with veils if a song I love seems suitable.
I often use veils if I'm unsure of the audience's ability or comfort level of staying focused on my body for the entire time I dance.

The beautiful silk offers a different focal point, a bigger more dramatic dynamic, but also poses a double entendre.

I can consider it a display of air swirling and making graceful sweeps, a dance partner who may get caught on my head but who will never trod upon my bare feet, but I teach my students the necessity of remembering there are those women without the luxury of removing their veils.

With this in mind I'll pretend I have wings.
