Monday Nights at 6:30 PM - 5 week session
We are going to be exploring and playing with these beautiful, fun, flowy dance props....Silk Fan Veils!
As we work through creation of a slinky and fun pieces of choreography to different songs each week.
Students will learn to handle, manipulate, and flow with their fan veils. Technique, special tricks, musicality, and movement while using the fans will all be covered in this session.
The Silk Fan Veils are NOT part of the Traditional Raqs Sharqi/Belly Dance repertoire, but have become a fast favorite of the Modern Belly Dancer and Fusion Dancer!
Originating from China, these gorgeous props use a combination of silk veils and Chinese fans that can be used in a wide variety of dance styles. Safiya has used them for Cosplay performances, American Cabaret Belly Dance, and even mixed them in with Traditional music to create a modern take on dancing Oriental Belly Dance with Veil (using the Fan Veils instead!)
This is a beautiful Flow Art, that encourages creativity, and artistry in movement!
There are several styles of Fan Veils in use in the belly dance world, from short flutter fans, to fans that are 3 yards long, to the giant Super Fans that are a bit shorter, but extra wide!
In this class we will be using the older and most popular version, such as what Safiya is using in the event picture!
The studio has a small collection of Fan Veils to lend out, and will also have some for sale!! Or you can bring in your own set!
PLEASE speak with Safiya before ordering any, so we make sure you get the right type and quality!!
Safiya Specializes in Teaching how to move and flow with your Fan Veils, so you are not JUST a prop manipulator, but artistry in motion, you and your props becoming one in dance.
Clean Technique, Musicality, and flow throughout the choreography will be the goals of this class!
Class Fee: $15 to Drop in, Or Use a Class Card, or MU Pass!
