Veil Envelope in Belly Dancing

Video Transcript

"Okay, the next move I'm going to show you is the envelope with the veil. What you want to do is you want to have your hand in the proper stance, you want to have a little bit tapering off each side, we're going to bring our arms up, we're going to clasp them together in front, and then what we're going to do from here, you don't want to open in front, this is for demonstration, you're going to take one thumb and it's going to grab the other one's material. So you're going to exchange right there, you're going to drag one hand, for instance I'm dragging my right hand across the top, do not let your fingertips be shown, and you're going to hold there. You're now in the envelope. So we're going to try this again. Again we're going to hold our material, a little bit on each side, we're going to bring it all the way up, we're going to enclose in front, one thumb is going to grab the other material, drag your hand across, and this is the envelope. This takes a lot of practice, but once you get used to it it's a lot of fun. So again, the envelope at full pace. So what we're going to do is we're going to bring the arms up, close, grab, and drag. Again, that's the envelope."
