Monday Nights at 7:15 PM - 8 week sessionWe are going to be exploring and playing with these beautiful, fun, flowy dance props....Silk Fan Veils.
In this session we will be using a LARGE SINGLE Fan Veil!
As we work the through creation of a slinky, fun, and beautiful choreography, adding a bit each week, ending in a full dance that students will get a chance to perform.
Students will learn to handle, manipulate, and flow with their fan veil. Technique, special tricks, musicality, and movement while using the fan will all be covered in this session.
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 a larger, shorter SINGLE FAN, similar (but not as large) as the picture on the event page of Safiya.
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!
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: $90+Tax for the 8 week session, or pay $15+Tax to Drop in, Or Use a Class Card, or MU Pass!
