[Artemisia] Egyptian Can Can?

[Megen/Phoebe]

Off topic a bit..... I danced with Zahirah for quite a few years and her sword is very real and a bit heavy!  It was purchased on one of her tours to the middle east, though I can not remember exactly where she said she got it.  One of the things that makes her dance with the sword so amazing is her respect and understanding of the weapon.  Not just anyone is allowed to even touch it.  She is the best I have ever seen dance with a sword and after all of these years I am still at awe.

  I WAS sort of wondering if it was related to the can can.

Will you have canes there to lend or do interested participants need 
to bring their own? I have a sword (albeit not the enormous, 
dangerous-looking, Zahirah style scimitar I wish I had), a couple 
sets of finger cymbals (they're even Zills), various sizes and shapes 
of fans, and a ton of veils. I even have two doumbeks I can hardly 
play. But I haven't a cane to my name. It's very tragic.
