Beyond the Fan Veil:
Beginner Techniques + Finding Your Flow
with Jewelissa
December 7th
2:45-4:15pm
In-studio only
Are you ready to go beyond the fan veil?
In this 90-minute workshop, we will embark on a journey of beginner fan veil technique and flow. We will begin by delving into fan veil anatomy and learning how to hold and manipulate fan veils with grace and precision. Students will also receive wisdom on how to care for your fans to maintain their longevity and maximize their movement.
As we delve deeper into the workshop, students will be taught basic movements and body framing, while exploring traveling and basic turns. We will then unveil the secrets of solo fan flow, tapping into your individual expression before flowing with our peers and tapping into group flow.
Students will leave this workshop mystified by the power of fan veil magic, saying "I can do that?" Yes, yes you can!
We kindly request that you refrain from wearing chain jewelry or any accessories that may snag or get caught on the silk fabric of the fan veils.
What to wear: Comfortable clothing you can move in. Heels are optional.
Fan Veils: We have plenty of fan veils for students to use during class or you may bring your own!
