Fire
Fans
Fans are one of the most graceful forms
of fire dancing. They
allow the freedom to incorporate many different
styles of dance and creative expression
into a performance. They are absolutely
mesmerizing to watch and
so much fun
to perform with! These workshops will give
you a solid foundation in fan movement &
flow, technical moves such as spinning,
isolations and anti-spins, and ends with
a choreography class that puts everything
together. Each workshop builds in difficulty
so we highly recommend taking them in order.
