Don’t you love the feeling of snapping open the abanico?
There are many ways to open the abanico, the flamenco fan.
This is one of my favorite ways to do so.
Here’s how you do it:
Begin by holding the abanico closed.
With your thumb and index finger, grab onto the outer spine of the fan closest to you
Let go of everything but this to allow the abanico to fall open.
You want the fan to open fully (to a half moon shape.)
If it doesn’t fully open, use your pinky finger to reveal a full half moon.
The abanico is now vertically aligned.
Rotate your wrist to flip the abanico and align it horizontally.
Practice this sequence as many times as you need to.
Then, add some flair by accenting with the wrist.
To do this, flick your wrist when you initiate the movement and quickly rotate it to perform the whole movement in one beat.
Have fun with it!
And stick around because later I’ll teach you a step that incorporates this very movement.

P.S. I am not angry in this video, just concentrating I guess. 🤣
