Dancing Events in Katoomba

Join the fun! Optional performance on stage at Ironfest! This workshop introduces the foundations of fan dance, focusing on grand extensions and the presence needed for the stage. We acknowledge the rich history of fan dance across various performance modalities and movement arts. We treat the fan as a physical extension of the body and a somatic outlet for expression, exploring how the prop can bridge internal feeling with external movement. This class is about the energy of the fans and the joy of the flow. Our time together will focus on building the comfort and confidence required for the festival environment. This is a supportive body positive space that welcomes dancers of all genders, identities and backgrounds. We foster an environment of empowerment and embodied strength. Suitable for beginner to intermediate dancers with some prior movement experience.
