“Super Beth” “Fan Club” Short Fans:
~A new concept to the ATS® repertoire, introduced to the ATS® community by “Super Beth” at the 2014 Homecoming. Fan work is an excellent way to add a bit of spark and color to any set. Easily adapted to any dance style, “Super Beth” will show you how to handle and hold a large dance fan, and will lead you through a series of fast steps that will showcase the colorful props. For this workshop you will need two silk flutter fans for both the right and left hands. These are short fans, not the long “fan veils”. Here is an example: http://www.silk-bamboo.com/72-30cm-bamboo10cm-silkflutter. Dancers should be familiar with FCBD ATS® DVDs 1, 4, 7 and 9.
