argurotoxosI haven't uploaded any photos in a while.
My new pair of zills (finger cymbals). (Here is my first pair for comparison.) They're quite a bit larger and heavier than my first, but I think the tone is more complex. (As my ATS teacher commented, they can feel like wearing pancakes on your fingers at first!) I experimented with no-sew zill elastics, but ended up replacing three of the four bands with sewed elastics. (However, I think both my middle finger bands are too tight and should probably be resewn at some point.) Both my zill sets are from Saroyan Cymbals; my first (smaller) ones are Small Grecian student zills; the new (larger) ones are Afghani tribal zills.
This is the teal hair flower I found on eBay to go with my ATS (American Tribal Style belly dance) outfit.
The dance studio I take belly dance at also offers flamenco. I've been to about four classes and have enjoyed it. I did better than I expected considering I've never danced in heels before! I bought these flamenco shoes on eBay for a fairly inexpensive price. They were listed as used, but looked brand new.
The sole of the flamenco shoes with the nails hammered into the heel and toe. There are five main foot strikes used in flamenco.
