To The Earth is hosting Bastet from Albuquerque, NM to come teach a DOUBLE fan workshop on July 20th in Richmond Virginia ! We'd love for you all to join us.
Here's a message from Bastet (Profile: people.tribe.net/05d47da8-...4057a31c):
"Hello all,
As part of the workshop, I am offering a pre-order for fans. Due to my insanely busy schedule this summer, I can only hold pre-orders until May 18th, though I will order extras (don't worry!). The instructions are posted below and on my tribe: Bastet Fusion Fan Dancing. Just in case you're wondering what my double fan technique looks like, here's a video....enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch
For your dancing delight, I've found many options for you to choose from to order through me:
$20/pair (Right Handed ONLY)
-----Black-Staved Fans: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...14be6d22e1
-----Dragon and/or Phoenix Fans: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...075cc8857f
$20/pair (Left and Right Handed Fans)
----Fade Fans: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...db52950fe9
$15/pair (Right Hand ONLY)
----Red or Black Dance Fans: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...c3de1269ca
$12/pair (Left and Right Handed Fans)
----Green Peacock: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...09af94ee34
----Blue Peacock: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...379ab53f3b
----Red Dance Fans: tribes.tribe.net/bastet/ph...3f9c748564
*I offer these options because I know I can save you money on them by buying (and shipping) in bulk and either own or have used all of these and found them to be acceptable or good for the price. However, my current favorite fans (and the ones you see in many of my pictures) are from waydragon.stores.yahoo.net/soli...html. I just called them, and they only have orange and green in stock right now. Unfortunately, I cannot save you any money by buying in bulk (at least, through my estimation). So, if you're interested, buy directly from them! There are also many vendors on ebay (though I think you'll pay about the same or more with shipping).
How to Order: Please send a paypal payment for the total to eve6570@hotmail.com with the name of the fan and color preference. I will be taking pre-orders until May 18th to guarantee color/style preferences. I will order extras of fans I feel will sell at the workshops. ONLY order fans if you are attending the Richmond VA workshop as you will receive them at the workshop. If fewer than 5 orders are made from any one vendor (I am ordering from several companies), I reserve the right to cancel those orders--you will be notified if this happens and your money refunded or used as a credit towards another pair of fans.
**If you cannot afford a set of fans and are attending my workshop, I will have a limited number of fans available to borrow. Please pm or e-mail me at bastetfusion@gmail.com to reserve a pair to borrow.
***If you're still reading at this point....here's my opinion on some of these fans: The loudest fans are the "Black-Staved Fans" and the "Dragon and/or Phoenix Fans", the easiest to handle are the ones from waydragon.com (the ones you'd have to order), but any of the left and right handed fans have a wonderful ease of use, the most graceful ones are probably the "red dance fans," but the fade fans look the best on stage. If you're buying your own, please don't buy the metal martial arts fans. I have some. They are heavy, beautiful, and dangerous. If you fling them across the room by accident, you could seriously hurt someone. Also, they heavy enough that you could injure your wrist doing some of the movements that will be taught. Also, if you own fan veils, please don't use them for this workshop. Many of the movements you will learn MUST be modified in order to use fan veils. The movements and combos you will learn really focus on using the fan as a fan. Fan veils are, in my opinion, very different props.
Whew!
