Get ready to embark on a journey of fan veil technique, flow, and choreography!
In addition to learning a choreographed group fan veil routine, students will delve into fan veil anatomy and learn how to hold and manipulate fan veils with grace and precision. Some of the focus will be on basic movements and body framing, while exploring traveling and basic turns.
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: Beginner/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!
What makes this a “mini” series? The summer session is a little shorter - 6 weeks instead of the usual 8 weeks in the spring, fall, and winter.
Students will also get:
A pair of fan veils to keep!
1 free hour of studio time to use to practice their choreography. The hour must be used by Aug. 2nd.
Must satisfy at least one of the following prerequisites:
A Group Choreo series
A Burlesque Act Development series
