Learn to dance with the abanico SUMMER WORKSHOP: Dates TBA
In this Beginning Workshop we'll explore how to dance with the abanico (flamenco fan).

We'll study basic technique of the abanico including:
How to hold the fan correctly
Multiple methods of opening the fan
How to use your wrist to move the fan in different ways
What to do with the other hand
In addition we'll study upper body positioning and how this works with the abanico
