We’re here to showcase the burlesque scene in Atlantic Canada as a destination for live events, skills development, and community building.
Description
MOVEMENT / PROP BASED | ALL LEVELS | $25
Whether you're new to the world of fan dancing or an experienced showgirl whose fans are gathering dust, this class will instill in you the confidence and knowledge you need to fan dance fantastically onstage.
We'll start the class by revisiting basic fan handling techniques, from finding a comfortable grip to moving your fans around your body with grace and ease. We'll explore different types of fan movement and learn framing poses that help you use fans to showcase your performance.
We'll also address a performer's practical concerns: how to choreograph a fan dance that sparkles instead of snoozes, how to utilize fans in floorwork, and how to get your clothes off while your hands are full!
What to wear/bring: Bring your fans, and your questions! A limited amount of fans will be available for students to borrow, and share
