Supplies Suggested
Hip Scarf: You may borrow if
necessary. We will have a few to lend. If you would like to
purchase, think creatively: try thrift stores for triangular
scarves or large square scarves that could be folded or cut in
half. Target has appropriate scarves at times. EBay is also an
option but watch shipping costs and check the sellers feedback
rating before purchasing. If you want to support our local
merchants, Ear Expressions, operated by Naliya and her mother,
has a Bellydance Corner with many items available. phone:
549-9572, 221 W Cascade in Sisters
Veil: A 2.5 to 3 yard veil would be
appropriate. You can use the same options as above or if you
are handy, hit the fabric store and find a sheer fabric that
you love! Edges can be surged or hand rolled.
Zills: We have a very limited
supply of zills to borrow. It would be best if you purchased
these on your own. Ear Expressions carries inexpensive
beginner-type zills.
We
recommend though, that if you intend to make this a hobby, it
would be best to purchase better quality zills like those
available through Saroyan Mastercrafts: www.saroyanzils.com
There
are many styles to choose from. Smaller zills are recommended
for beginners. Please keep in mind when ordering anywhere that
you need a set of four (4) zills; two for each hand.
Here is a list of what we have used so far: You can check most
of them out at rhapsody.com
