"Hi! Thank you for visiting Expertvillage.com. My name is Yvette Parrish. See how much prettier that looks. So when you open your fan, you can close your skirt at the same time. Once you have your fan in this position. Remember no space. You don’t want any space here. You are holding it like this. Your chin is towards your right shoulder. You got your skirt in. You can do a circle. I am going to hold my skirt up and the fan and show you how pretty that looks and when you are done, close it and do that. Alright, so it is a little fancy that you can get with the fan. But remember start with pretty side towards you, open it, you are turning it all right, do a little wave, your chin towards your right shoulder and we are turning right, we are turning this way. That’s hard to do two, so if your are turning this way, it is not going to look as fluid, so make sure you are turning this way. Hold your skirt out and I am going to do a spin. Close it, throw your skirt behind you, open the fan. We have not done any footwork, basically all we did was a little skirt and a little fan. It is very eye catching. The audience will love it. It looks very showy, I really like it. I don’t know why I just really do. So we will do that again. Open towards you, a little wave, a little smile because you are a dainty flamenco. Shoulder, chin to shoulder, hold the skirt out, we are going to do a little turn, we are done with that fan, throw the skirt and now you have got that fan open again. All right, that is a basic little fancy you can get with the fan."
