Flamenco Fan Basics- How to use a Fan for Flamenco Dance

flamencodanceon...
UPDATE 1/3/20: CLASSES ARE UP!
This video is part of the FLAMENCO SIN ZAPATOS (flamenco without shoes) class series. Although this video is very basic, it's important because I have seen so many students break their fan (my fans!) when first trying to use it in class.
Also many times students are not aware of their shoulders moving upward in an effort to rotate the wrist. A lot is happening in the body to produce a smooth, effortless wrist rotation with a fan!
ABOUT FLAMENCO SIN ZAPATOS
Have you ever wanted to learn flamenco dance but had a difficult time getting the shoes to fit or being comfortable in high heels? In this series Arleen teaches dancers the fundamentals of flamenco dance but "sin zapatos", without shoes.
In this video the fan, the "abanico" and related techniques are featured.
I want to hear from you!:

A little about me:
I've been dancing professionally for two decades with my home base in Los Angeles, California. My focus has been flamenco dance but I've trained extensively in ballet, jazz and tap. Living in Los Angeles I've had the opportunity to perform this art in commercials, television and of course the stage.
Thanks for visiting! Let me know in the comments if you want to learn more about flamenco without shoes AND/OR flamenco WITH shoes!

So I bought a $3 Asian fan in a dollar store was doing the wrist twist motion but the Dan kept closing in me…. Is that normal? Or there a better way to hold it

Huh. I danced professionally for 20 years and with La Dama Maria del Carmen. If we had held our fans like this, when we fanned them out, they would have flown across the room.
