It's been a while since I saw a thread about the superstitions we have when we perform.
I'm lucky I think because Kashmir follows a lovely tradition for her first-time performers - we all get a blue bead to put in our costumes for good luck.
The story goes (Kashmir will you correct me if I get it wrong?!) that the blue bead scares away the jealous spirits who would ruin your dance. Mine is pinned inside my favourite copper dress I use for saidi, but some have theirs in their bra or belt.
Does anyone have any others to share?
