One of the first videos I saw with double veil dancing in it (other than Loie Fuller, have you read the book about her life? It's EXCELLENT reading:)
was featuring Deann Adams, here is a link about her
DeAnn Adams passing
but I don't know if she was the first to do it

i thought she was beautiful and influenced my own dance style a lot
here's Aneena
Untitled Document
and my first instructor, Mahisha, taught us double veils in our advanced class
MySpace.com - Mahisha - 58 - Female - SANTA FE, New Mexico - www.myspace.com/MedicineHeart

even the Sufis incorporate dancing with fabric of some type with the act of dance and spinning. it's pretty remarkable!
this is a really incredible video, it starts slowly but watch to the end..the dancer on the pedestal thing has amazing balance
Loie Fuller can be found on youtube too
