Hi again Laura, This type of sword is usually preferred for professionals, it is heavier but better balanced. The weight allows you better feel for what the sword is doing while dancing. Liz Azi might have additional thoughts. 

Hi Laura, (Sadie here) I have a sword like this, it is light weight and easy to use. Because it is lighter it can slip a bit but still very user friendly. Liz Azi what are your thoughts. 

So happy you enjoyed the class Camelia

Hi Noel, So glad you enjoyed Simon's class. We will pass that message along to him

Woohoo!  Thats incredible! Congratulations

So glad to hear it Jan!! Ive got 3 more to add to this series in September as well.

Hi Paula, Veil work was more of a costume accessory and used briefly upon an entrance. They didnt really do much if any of the tricks we do in modern styling.  Omoladun did a very nice Golden Era style Choreo with veil that demonstrates that. https://raqsonline.com/programs/collection-choreography-sereis?cid=2624661&permalink=omoladun-golden-era-performance

Alma Popovski How about now?

Great Job Camelia!! Keep it up
