Description
This course is for you if you are new to dancing with a sensu (a.k.a. ōgi, the Japanese folding "fan" for dancing). Using the sensu requires a highly detailed and precise technique. If you want to learn Classical or Traditional Japanese Dance, it will help you immensely to learn the correct sensu technique from the start. Learning the sensu technique online works exceptionally well, even better than learning it in a studio because the technology allows for accuracy for slow motion and close-up views from various angles.In this course, you will first learn two different ways of holding the closed sensu because, before you start dancing with a sensu, you need to know how to carry one correctly. Then, you will learn how to open and close the sensu. You will also learn three different ways of holding the opened sensu and how to transition between these three holding positions. Finally, you will practice basic sensu movements with music.Both dancers and non-dancers can benefit from this course. If you think dancing is not for you, you can still learn the sensu technique and do it sitting on a couch. It's fun, it's for everyone, and it's a good brain exercise.
