F is for Fatima hands

Fatima hands aka Hands of Fatima, a hand position taken from Indian dance/pictures.  Place hands overhead; palms both face forward; thumbs showing out to side.  This position is frequently used at the end of a dance.

Thank you, Karen



F is for Fanveils

This is the Awadim of Belisha performing with fanveils at The Medieval Joust 2009.

 If you own fanveils, start by handling them frequently & getting your muscles used to holding them fully open - it is a strain to start, but worth the effort when they fly for you.  Remember to balance the "fan" handling with the "veil" use, it makes for a delight to watch.
