Equipment Information

 * Name: bellydance costuming and accessories
 * Description: Coin belts, hip scarves, loose hammered/looped coins for sewing purposes At this time we are not aware of anywhere public that we can store bellydance costuming and not have it be stolen, so we would really love suggestions! $250 for coin belts/hip scarves (approx. $15 each when bought in bulk) $50 for loose coins for sewing
 * Purpose: Purchasing hip scarves and coin belts to be signed out to as many dancers as possible makes students who can't afford their own accessories feel as comfortable and competent as dancers who can. We used to have so few members that those of us who had accessories could simply share, but we now have so many dancers that we don't have enough for everyone who wants to perform in the bellydance shows we put on. We want to make sure that everyone feels equally comfortable performing and no one feels obligated to buy their own accessories, which are often expensive. We would also like to buy loose coins for Collective members to use to sew their own accessories at a fraction of the cost. (We also requested this our request for Event Funding for our Spring Showcase performance, which is where the need for this equipment becomes really pressing -- sorry for any redundancy.)
