Fabulous Fan Society - 2020 Enrolment Form
This is the enrolment form to be part of the Fabulous Fan Society (FFS) for 2020.
Enrolments only open until 30 April 2020.
Are you Down to Fan (DTF)?! Well, if so the Fabulous Fan Society (FFS) is for YOU!
The Fabulous Fan Society (FFS) is an online feather fan and fan veil dance collaboration run by Jazida.
Members of the Society are granted access to an online learning portal. Through the online learning portal, members have access to a range of instructional videos (depending on prop type and difficulty level), choreography notes, costuming/styling resources and are provided online support by Jazida and a collection of Fan Mentor Leaders (FML).
In 2020, your Fan Mentor Leaders (FML) are: Jazida, Rainbow, Miki Minx and Sara Martini. These four dancers are all teachers at Jazida Dance Classes Canberra School, they have extensive national/international performing experience and have been dancing with fans alongside Jazida since 2015!
Membership provides access to all the resources to learn one dance project/choreography (the equivalent of a 10 week dance course at a school). Members who opt in to perform, then come together from across Australia to perform the cohesive choreography together as a national troupe.
2020 is the inaugural FFS project! It is exciting to be part of, because it’s the first time that this kind of fan dancing project has been run in Australia!
The 2020 FFS Project is danced to “Little Drop of Poison” by Michael Wheatley. There are 4 different versions of the choreography (beginner fan veil, advanced fan veil, beginner feather fan, advanced feather fan) and all four versions come together to create one cohesive group performance. Where possible during performances, Michael Wheatley will join us and sing live.
The choreography is firmly based around fan manipulation technique, is in a fusion style and takes inspiration from burlesque, bellydance and fire twirling. The choreography is performed clothed and there is no reveal (stripping) as required as part of the performance.
