"So long and thanks for all the fish."
You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.
Green peppers, lime pickle and whole-grain mustard = best sandwich filling.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Live like there is no tomorrow,
dance like nobody is watching
and hula hoop like wiggling will save the world.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

are u using a weighted dance fan? strong hands, graceful flow and the right equipment won't hurt...
i've only ever seen one pair of folding fire fans that were sturdy enough for professional performance.

Its just a shame there is such a lack of resources on fire fans.

Higher, higher burning fire...making music like a choir

There is also Rom fan dancing, which is more playful and flippant and lovely.
Who wants to see a monkey on fire?

There is alot I agree with here, and alot I disagree with.
First of all, I love my fans. They are pretty beat up because I practice with my fire fans, something I recommend for no one, btw. I have two sets. One of the original (ie: no longer available) HoP designs and a set a friend made for me.
The ones my friend made are insanely light and as such are top heavy, but it makes them good for spinning and throwing.
I have bent the hell out of the spokes on my HoP ones from tossing.
And here is where I agree and disagree with them being an extension of your arm. Yes, to a degree. The same as any other prop. However, if you only think that then you are limiting yourself to contact with it when throws and tosses are a lovely part of the art.
I also want to point out that while martial arts and tai chi and Japanese dancing are wonderful resources, do not forget about Victorian Fan language and some of the more subtle movements it incorporated. Also keep in mind Flamenco and spanish fan dancing, which is fluid and lovely and powerful and firey. There is also Rom fan dancing, which is more playful and flippant and lovely.
