Get ready to embark on a journey of single-handed fan veil technique, flow, and choreography!
In this series, students will learn a choreographed group routine while exploring the unique shapes, movements, and expressions possible with one fan veil. Unlike two-handed fan veil work, single-handed fan veils offer distinct possibilities in flow, isolations, and body framing. Students will delve into fan veil anatomy and learn how to hold and manipulate the fan veil with grace and precision. The class will focus on foundational movements, body framing, traveling steps, and basic turns—all while discovering how to create dynamic shapes with a single fan.
Striptease will be part of this act!
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.
Level: All levels/intermediate
Please note: This class is ideal for folks who have a little movement experience under their shimmy belt! You do not need to have experience with fan veils, but it is not ideal for absolute movement beginners!
