How to Spin a Chinese Fan

This is for Aurora Anaya. It's a little demonstration of how to spin a Kung Fu (or Chinese) Fan. I also included some info on my favorite way to hold a fan, how to open it, how to close it and what not do do if you don't want to break it.

Having trouble hearing you over the music, unfortunately.

[Caroleeena]

@ilafatyu Yes, I apologize about that. I am not a very good film maker.

[MillieToulson]

wow, such grace I love it! ^.^ where's the fan from, or where's a good website to get them from? ^,^

[Caroleeena]

@MillieToulson Thank you! I got this fan for $7 at my local Asian market.

Steel or plastic? I know a lot of the Kung Fu ones are steel but I imagine that might hurt to spin >__o Excellent video though, gave me a couple of ideas for my fire fan dancing actually (:

[Caroleeena]

@AstronautCity This one is plastic but you can spin the steel ones as long as the steel is light enough. You can also spin some fire fans, depending on how they are made.

I have been a little busy late, but gal, you are looking downright SKINNY along with graceful and talented and all that stuff you already are. Good job!

Excellent video, Caroleeena! I haven't used a fan in dance for a couple of decades, but you have my eager to try it again - with my hoops (and maybe a hat) this time... ;)

[AstronautCity]

@Caroleeena Awesome, thanks for answering! Yeah, I have the collapsible, spin ring fire fans so I knew about spinning where the space was available for it, but hadn't even thought about spinning fans without spin rings! So this is great (:
