Hi, I'm Nancy
and I'm a dancer with the Junior Company
We dance our own repertoire and we take part in large productions of
the National Ballet
Right now we're performing Don Quichot
a pretty ballet with a spanish theme
in the first act we dance the 'sequidilla'
that's a group dance where we dance with fans
this is tricky because
you don't decide when to open or close your fan
neither can you choose the height
that is decided by the choreographer
in this way every dancer opens and closes at the same time and at the same height
the fan opens like this, with a snap
and you close it again by using you other hand
the height is also important now it is here...
...or here
for example, in the ballet we do it here
and here
my biggest fear is to drop the fan
but I have thought of something for that
a rubber band - like you use for your hair wrapped around your wrist so you don't drop it
all the fans make it look like I'm in Spain and the beautiful scenery
that's why I love dancing this dance
