I have a question about the fan. Is it mandatory for a jingle dancer to have a wing fan or can a regular fan do??

I'd rather live on the side of a mountain than to wander through canyons of concrete and steel... -
i see the majority of jinglers out there with tail fans, so i'm guessing either one will doDon't ever stop dancing -
Fan
Either, just as long as you have one ;)Comment

fans
I agree. If you are dancing contemporary your best bet is a flat fan but a wing fan will do as well. If you are dancing old style jingle they dance without a fan or plumes in their hair and keep their steps to a very dignified shuffle of the feet changing the rhythm every now and then. The footwork must be balanced on both sides. I was taught to raise my hand on the honor beats in old style or keep my hands on my hips. In comtemporary you raise your fan on the honor beats.;) :Angel2The needs of the many outway the needs of the one.............Comment

WHEN I WAS A TEEN I USED THE WING FAN, THEN MY UNCLE GAVE ME A TAIL FAN BEADED HANDLE AND ALL. LUV YA UNC. SO I WOULD SAY WHAT EVER YOU DESIRE, FAN, WING, TAIL OR NONE. FOR ME IVEALWAYS USED A FAN I LIKE CARRYING A FAN AND RAISING IT UP ON THEM HONORS WITH MY OWN LITTLE "FAN WAVE""Never be bullied into silence.

What kind of fan do you use if you use one, tail, wing, or other?? I prefer using a tail fan, and I see lots of other jinglers using tail fans, and others using the wing fans. Which do you prefer and/or use?

What do you think of wing fans? I've seen them being carried by a variety of dancers, including straight dancers. What types of fans do you all use? I prefer a loose fan with eagle feathers...02-24-2002, 07:12 PM -

What style or fan movement do you like when dancing with fan (if you dance contemporary that is) ...or like when watching other Contemp Jingle Dancers work their fun during the honor beat?
Do you like the on the beat fan movement or the graceful fan movement.....
Or just raise...08-13-2010, 05:06 PM -

I took a number of years away from the powwow circuit while building my life and career in the white world and upon return I have noticed to some discomfort the many changes in the dress of my tribe. For women gone are the traditional old school shawls (with intricately woven fringes and heavier fabric)...08-01-2018, 02:13 AM
