+ Neon's talk on wings quality and workmanship

"Wings are different from bellydance veil. Veil dancing relies a lot on various veil tricks - ways to manipulate veil to create sophisticated silk waves and cascades in the air. With wings, you can't rely on tricks, because there is not much you can do trick-wise. You can’t change hands, let go of wings, wrap them around you - wings are a very flashy prop, but far less versatile than the veil. One thing they have in common is that both cover a multitude of sins when it comes to the actual dance, because everyone’s eyes are on your veil or wings, not on your hips or feet or even hands. So you can get away with a lot. Also, since both props are of Western origin, they are compatible with bellydance vocabulary, but not really bellydance - you can add a lot of hipwork to your wings or veil dance, but your hips do not coordinate with wither veil or wings, your hips and your prop remain strangers, they dance their own dance no matter how closely they follow either beat or melody."
