#socialshimmy2021 Bonus challenge for @leena.viie.bellydance Let's talk props! I LOVE incorporating props into my dance. I'm often hesitant to use them, though, because I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before making a complete fool of myself. 😆 I'd have to say that sword is my favorite. I also really enjoy pots (in dances like #Fellahi), #assaya, baskets, #shamadan, veil, and Isis wings. I want to do more with shamadan, for sure, and veils in general. @katie.sahar #socialshimmy #leenasocialshimmy #bellydancer #curvydancer #plussizedancer #dance #folkloricdance #fusiondance (at Northeast Minneapolis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSdC_pklIOB/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is Mona El Said, performing a Saidi style dance with an assaya. I love this performance, though the video quality isn't the best. I especially love it when she basically starts headbanging at about the 5 minute mark!
