Thread: Holiday Contest #3 - 2 Members will get prizes!!!

If you haven't seen the Contest Series yet, this is something fun Bhuz is running for the holiday season with the help of some very generous sponsors! We have teamed up with sponsors to offer prizes like DVDs, CDs, and gift certificates.

I will be forcing a thread for only 24 hours for each contest.

For this contest Hannan Sultan is offering for 2 winners a gift certificate for a FREE DVD download from her website. Choose from beginner to advanced level instructional DVDs as well as a Live Performance featuring live music from Arabia Band. Sultan's focus is on spreading the art of bellydance around the world, both as a performer and instructor. She would love nothing more than to bring her talents and her love of teaching to you. You can read more about Hannan and see all of her titles available on DVD, download, or online streaming at www.hannansultan.com

TO ENTER THE CONTEST: All you have to do is reply to this thread! We will randomly select the winners by drawing the page number out of a bowl and then drawing the reply number out of a bowl (2 separate drawings for 2 winners this time!) TO MAKE IT A LITTLE INTERESTING, please tell us your FAVORITE PERFORMANCE PROP? - anything from zils, Isis wings, coin belts, silk veils...

The winner of the contest will be announced on the evening of Friday, November 18th
Good luck!

My fave prop is cane.

GObelts are my fav performance prop!

I'm a veil whore. Love me some veil!!!

Although I have tried some other props, my favourite is the veil. I like the way that it can be soft, playful and light or it can be dramatic. It is up to the dancer to decide how she/he wants it to act.

Hm, I am among those who feel that zills are not a prop, but rather a musical instrument. When it comes to fun, proppy props, my first choice is probably a (single) fan veil, closely followed by cane.

Oooh yay!

My favorite prop is the sword. I love balancing things (tray is a favorite too) and the sword gets so many oohs and aahs when done well. I love doing all sorts of weird tricks with it and floorwork. It's also been a fun challenge, because it is helping me to add more suspense and drama to my performance style.

My favorite prop is a cane!

Mine is defenetly VEIL!!!! Love love love it!

I lurves my Saroyan sword. I like dancing with sword, because it can be so dramatic, and I love to be a drama queen--but in a good way.

Veils are so much fun, and so gratifying.

Prop or instrument, one day -- inchallah -- I aspire to being able to play the zills decently, as they too are fun.

I love using a sword, it always feels so dramatic and amazing when done right.

It's so hard to choose! I would say zills first, and if they are not considered a prop, then double veil!

I dance with goblets and candle tray, also tambourine, zills and veil.

I like veil & would someday like to learn cane.

Agreed. With this said, my fave proppy prop is most definitely the veil. Single or double. My next fave is probably the Shemadan, although I have precious little opportunity to dance with one these days...

I like cane too!

Most UN-fave prop? Sword.

My favorite prop...Veil...so deliciate and mesmerizing.

I'd love to get my hands on a fire prop... something like those fire fans!

Cane is pretty fun.

I love zills but I consider them a musical instrument not a prop... my favorite prop is veil.

I also think of zills as an instrument. My favorite prop is sword! I've never done it when I wasn't dressed as a pirate in drag, though.

I love the cane!

Veil... for now...
but just wait until I become BFF with my sword! Right now it is still a work in progress

its a tough choice between veil & sword for me ....

veil.

Veils / fan veils

Isis wings! I feel extra powerful!

Veil in all its different forms.

I am like a butterfly with my Isis wings!!! :)

I love zils, especially when they are played with something other than the typical 123 pattern!

I love Isis Wings, they're eye catching!!

Although I do love sword, Ill have to say my absolute fav is veil..
