Question HELP! balloon pop!

i am doing a balloon pop and have been practicing for 3 plus weeks now
i generally use 12-15 balloons but feel that i either have too many balloons (and cant see the wood for the trees) or that i dont have enough on me


can someone advise how many is the right amount to use or is it simply a preference thing?

It's a preference thing surely, and doesn't it depend on what music you're using and how you want to sychronise the popping to the music.

Why not ask Anjakinz (or here, but she's Dolly Royale on myspace etc)? She's done a new balloon pop act recently and has decided to use more balloons. I'll try and find the thread....here it is: http://www.ministryofburlesque.com/b...ack-quack.html

when I do my balloon pop I use quite a few balloons, around the 20ish mark. It's hard to see where you're going but It looks great.

How long is your song.

Nah, pratting about is much more accurate!



*Disclaimer* Just re-read that and realised it could be taken as a dig at Orchid - it was meant to be self-deprecating so sorry Orchid!
