The Queen Sheeba Walk is a very good entrance move, it alows you to cover a fairly good amount of space rather quickly. You will often just hold your veil out to your sides or in a soft "v" but that's not all the options in the world you could enter covered by using the envelope wrap, it's open to whatever you want. To do the actual walk is very simple it's like walking with a reverse horizontal figure eight. Step forward with the right foot and make half of the figure eight now step forward with the left foot and make the other half of the figure eight. There shouldn't be any pausing and the moves should be fluid and flow into each other. Walk normally no steping and pausing or pivoting (uness that's part of the choreography). This should be done on the balls of your feet.Another good entrance move is the grape vine. If you've ever done or seen country line dancing you may recognize this one. It's very easy to do. We are going to be traveling to the left in these instructions. The move can be done on the balls of the feet or flat footed, however diong on the balls looks more elegant. Step forward with the right foot and to the side with the left, now back with the right and to the side with the left, repeat. It's a "forward and back and" move. The right is the "forward" and the "back" while the left is the and. The right foot should cross over and behind the left foot when it goes forward and back. Allow your body to swing with the move. Right side swings forward a bit wen the right foot steps forward and the Left side swings forward a bit when the right foot steps back.Anyone familiar with tap and jazz will recognize this one right away. Step forward onto your right foot (STEP). Now bring your left foot forward towards your right foot but not in front of it and step onto the ball of the left foot (BALL). Now change the weight so it's back on your right foot (CHANGE). Now repeat it starting with your left foot. Step forward onto your left foot (STEP). Now bring your right foot forward towards your left foot but not in front of it and step onto the ball of the right foot (BALL). Now change the weight so it's back on your left foot (CHANGE). Repeat as many times as want. You can hold the veil in any way that you want but it's common to have it in a soft "v".Peeking out from behind your veil is a very cute sometimes dramatic addition to your dance. You can hold it out straight in front of you and bring the top of the veil just below your eyes or even more dramatic come out of an envelope wrap by bringing the top opening down in front of your face and using your hands to open it just around your eyes.
