Beginner Fire Fan Tutorial: Dance Basics

[@cherie5629]

Can you please tell me what fans you're using? I also love the cover on them ❤ thank you

[@MickaylaGibson]

Please do another tutorial for beginners. You're the only tutorial that is clearly spoken. I am getting so frustrated with my fans hahaha I can't seem to get any of the cool fancy spins down whatsoever lol. I have the basics but the actual tricks I'm clueless about. I subscribed so I'll definitely be watching

[@JessySpin]

Oh, I'm so glad to hear it! That you like my tutorial that is, not that you're getting frustrated with your fans! I'm very close to releasing my next TWO, so definitely stay tuned :D

[@bluz4allah]

You're such an accomplished dancer and flow artist. Thank you so much for your tutorials. They are the only ones that break down the moves for me in a way that I can understand.

[@JessySpin]

Thank you so much Mich!! My pleasure. There are also some free choreographies in the FireLily Dance Studio if you want more classes, open level :D

[@jenhilman]

Thanks Jessy! Your videos are super easy to understand and follow along with! I’m brand new to fire fans and having a lot of fun learning from you! Thanks for your vids!

[@rallygross3552]

This is great! I watch a ton of flow/spinning videos and yours is by far the best because of your use of visual overlays! thank you!

[@JessySpin]

Yay, that makes me happy!! The hours of editing are totally worth it :D

[@ettag2258]

This is super nice! Excited for more tutorials!

[@beneath.the.rosesluciddrea8470]

I am loving your videos, thank you

[@kellieashton3697]

YAY! So stoked I found this channel! Thanks chicken!

[@LuckSpinner]

I love you're toaster idea, it's adorable & helpful!

[@r4v3rw0lfclawbite8]

COMPLETELY new to fans, this video was very clear and informative. Hope to see new material, will watch your other vids!

[@aquanitemare]

I didn't realize fan flow was a thing. I was going to starting hooping, but they're not very portable. I like this option, and they're so aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for the instructional videos!

[@dkalachi]

I really do enjoy your tutorials. They're super clear and easy to follow. As another person mentioned in the comments, it'd be REALLY lovely to have choreography "homework" with step by step guiding done by you. I'm defintiely a follower of channel. keep it up!

[@JessySpin]

Doni Kalachi yay, so glad to hear it! I will definitely be doing one with choreography soon! It is second in line 😄

[@NotChoMamasChannel]

I'm totally digging your tutorials! Best I've seen with fans! You are a great teacher! Thank you!

[@JessySpin]

Awesome, thanks for the positive feedback! :D

[@arehuizar]

Thank you so much for making these! They are really helpful ! I just started my flow journey and I love your videos also thanks for the fan cover diy! I’m super crafty and I can’t wait to make mine! Please keep making more videos! Sending Love!

[@michellevanderheiden252]

Love your tutorials!! And your outfit is hella cute

[@purple121389]

You're so cute! Thank you for an informative yet brief explanation.

[@JessySpin]

Hehe thanks! And informative yet brief is exactly what I shoot for, so I'm very glad you found it to be so! :D My pleasure!

[@HannaMednikova]

Thank you for your tutorial! You are amazing. 👍👍👍👍

[@JessySpin]

Aw thank you! It's my pleasure!! More coming soon, as soon as I pump out my back log of recent videos I'm getting straight on it! :) :D

[@kylarosestyle]

thanks girly so much love

[@lilshells313]

Great video! I would love to see more!

[@JessySpin]

So glad you enjoyed it, in the process of making more :)

[@thaocami657]

really thankkyou, this help me alot

[@Mr.Craig369]

Where can I find those fans? I love the grip. Thank you.

[@Nuancednudibranch]

Do you feel the practice fans are worth purchasing?

[@tincatacutan3676]

Hi! Thanks so much for this tutorial! Do you know where I can get beginner fans to practice with?

[@JessySpin]

My pleasure! I wouldn't say there are exactly beginner fans - in terms or use, it's actually easiest to learn with the same fans you would use when you become advanced. The difference though is price, so as a beginner you might opt for a less expensive pair (to see whether you even like it or not!). I put this tutorial together on buying your first fire fans which has some useful info :) There are also some brands linked in the description which you can check out, and see what you like the look of! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYmUc2iOatyZrKs Let me know if you have any other questions afterwards! :) Xxx

[@JustLIkerapunzel]

For a video suggestion: I'd love to see a tutorial of a choreo suggestion using / combining the simple beginner moves you already showed including a bit of bodymoves that fit with them just to get a better understanding of transfering from one trick to another! I realised to have learned a couple of moves like for example a two beat weave but then struggle to get out of that trick and transfer i to another one..

[@JessySpin]

Awesome, thank you for the suggestion! I have taken it on board :) I found the '"switches" move to be a good one for when I get stuck (e.g. one of my palms is facing the wrong way)... A good general approach is to think about where your currently position is, and where you need to be for the next move. Can you slide your fan to get there? Fold it? Spin? Even if it feels clunky, see if you can do it with purpose and (bonus points) musicality. Often I find this can make it look smooth/nice, even when the move isn't particularly fancy! To anyone else it just looks like it's part of your flow (which it is!) :)

[@tiffsadventures9116]

Hey Jess where's some good places to buy fans from for beginners ? On the not to costly side (also in my case within Aus ) I do poi spinning and muck around with staff stuff and hula hoop etc but haven't tried fans yet

[@JessySpin]

Awesome! I first started with poi too :) This is a tutorial I put together on buying your first fire fans, you'll find some different brands listed in the description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYmUc2iOatyZrKs It's hard to say which of the less expensive options is best, as I haven't tried them, but I'd probably go for some 'Spider Fans' or 'Medium Lotus Fans' from Home of Poi. You could also keep any eye out on the Aus Facebook group 'Circus Garage Sale' for some second hand ones too :) Just keep in mind which grip you might prefer (small ring VS big ring), that smaller is better (less weight means less tired arms means more spinning!), and that interesting shapes are pretty but often harder to spin because they are not well balanced. Good luck! :D Welcome to the fan army :D XX

[@tiffsadventures9116]

Thanks for the tips. I will keep them in mind :)

[@rvasdilla5026]

I want to buy same your fan

[@bernadettebohan5268]

Hi! I just got some white laser cut fans that are non-fire. Could you do a demonstration for this type and one whole flow example? Also- if your fans were really on fire, your sleeves are dangerously long and that might not be a strong teaching recommendation, they could go up in flame! yikes. Thanks for doing this tutorial!

[@JessySpin]

Yes, this is definitely not an outfit I would wear spinning fire!! I have a general guide to Fire Safety in the FireLily Dance online studio - you might like to check it out! :) firelilydance.com/resources/ There are also now lots of classes on FireLily, most of which have flows where we dance to songs and you can see how you connect moves :) Patterns will be the same for practice fans or for fire fans, but the grip may vary depending what type you have! Hope that hleps! :) X

[@jennsavestheworld]

Where is this fan from?

[@JessySpin]

This set is by Forged Creations. I have a doc with my fan product recommendations on the FireLily Dance website, including info on these fans, if you want to check it out! firelilydance.com/resources/ xx J

[@shakuntaladevimatahari5047]

Your Instagram account takes me here. You are awesome goddess fire..! ❤️❤️

[@JessySpin]

Aw yay!! I'm so glad!! Thank you for supporting me!!

[@auroraprinses2567]

please make more

[@JessySpin]

I will! :D

[@zephorazonum]

[@bernadettebohan5268]

Also, could you address the audience more inclusively? Guys is a bit non-inclusive, out-dated and a little offensive :/

[@scrappybastard]

--______-- .....

[@JessySpin]

Yes! Since I learnt of how this is problematic, I stopped addressing the audience as guys.
