Hey Athena,
I felt very privileged to play those zills and just had to share this precious experience with others.

I’m glad you’ve found the tip useful.
Happy zilling,
Sophie

Comment on Kalbeliya Costume, Part I by Sophie

Hi Kahina,
Yes, the mesh is just a thin silver ribbon about 0.5 cm ( 0.2 in) width. I haven’t purchased any white bracelets in Rajasthan, just the usual red ones. I haven’t looked online so not much of a help there. Sorry…
Good luck with the costume & let me know how it goes!
Sophie

Hi Sophie

I am am also into Kalbelia and looked for a places in Rajasthan to buy a costume but I think the only way for me to get one is to make it.I enjoyed your tutorial it was really helpful.I was wonderding about the “mesh” is it a ribbon that you purchased as is (if so where?), or did you make it yourself?

Also..Have you run across any of the white upper arm bracelets on line?

Thanks girl!

Thanks for writing this. I’m glad I stumbled actos your dancelog. As a student of Serena, and a student of HER students as well, I appreciate so much the beginning of your passage and your aknowlegement of just how special those zills are to anyone who will carry them.

Its been several years, and many zills later from those “FIRST PAIR” of zills I purchased from Serena’s Closet. But they are still my ONLY performance pair.
She was just magic in her dancing, teaching, and all-round person. And she lives on with many dancers and teachers she influenced who have carried a little bit of her with them …all over the world!

Thanks again for your well discovered secret tip!

Hi sophie,

I couldn’t find your e-mail or phone number enywhere so I’ll try here…
I’m looking for a good designer to creat a costume (not totaly conventional), and your costume in “Hilula” looks beautiful and comfortable.
Could you maybe recommend a designer who makes this kind of costumes?

Thank you…
Maayan
