I am looking for instructional dvd's on how to dance with swords, veils and candles. There are no workshops in my area on these specialties. Prefer tribal style.
Thanks. Joan

Sat, September 19, 2009 - 7:50 PMSeconded! That's a great DVD. It's not ATS though - it's more gothic or tribal fusion inspired. When my dancers and I did a sword piece recently, we adapted many of the standard ATS moves to work with the sword, to maintain the group improv aspect. -

Mon, September 21, 2009 - 2:48 PMI just watched it last night, and there's a lot that's easily adapted to ATS slow moves; she shows arm undulations, body waves and kneeling layback, taxim & reverse taxim, a barrel-style turn and level changes. Doesn't show a Camel, but that would work well. There's good information on how to handle a sword for most theatrical presentation.

Haven is formerly of Domba. I haven't watched the DVD, but I've taken many classes with her and she awesome, and her candle work is beautiful.
