First Fan Play & Exploration
Start by simply picking up your fans and exploring how they spin and travel around your body without aiming for “correct” technique. Nikki Scarano encourages an intuitive play session where you follow your own sense of direction, timing, and placement, noticing what movements feel natural and how the prop wants to move.
This is a reset drill you can return to anytime to reduce overthinking and build embodied familiarity with the fans before formal terminology and control work. Use it to tune into comfort, coordination, and creative choice-making as a foundation for later grip and technique lessons.
