The use of light-up costumes has mostly been dominated by the hip-hop genre, but other dance genres have yet to explode in popularity.

Rainy days can signify sadness or even happiness or relaxation, depending on the person, their mindset, or their experiences. Umbrellas may be a common household item, but they can be very pleasing to the eye, especially when used in combination with choreographic devices such as “cannon”.
Take for example Pan-Asian Dance Troupe’s dance “Cindy and Joanna’s Umbrella” below, where they make excellent use of dance choreographic devices such as “cannon”.
As you’ve just seen, umbrellas can be used in an open or closed state, which gives you greater flexibility to create various movements. Some examples of how you could use your umbrella in your dance include:
- Twirling it while holding it in your hands
- Placing it upside down on the floor and spinning it
- Holding it while performing various other movements
