Fan Shapes ~ W Relation

This lesson drills fan shapes in W Relation (also described as N Relation depending on fan orientation). You’ll set the fans facing down with palms in, then hinge the whole two-fan shape as one unit to the left, down, and up, tracking how the hand orientation flips so the palms face out at the top.

Nikki Scarano encourages you to repeat the hinge to stabilise the relationship and timing between both fans, then explore options like sliding the shape upward or adding a turn while maintaining the W Relation. Use it as a clean positional pathway for transitions into movement and travel.
