The Silk Fan Dance is a beautiful, gentle, mesmerizing dance that can be enjoyed by anyone without prior experience.
Features of the fans:
Popis: Premium Pongé 5 silk training fans with a distinctive petrol-blue and yellow gradient. Handmade in our workshop, this is a unique, one-of-a-kind pair. The fans are vibrant, glossy and flow beautifully. Their edges are unhemmed, so slight fraying is normal; this also allows the silk to move more freely. The silk is attached to only one side of the bamboo handle, leaving the bamboo ribs visible on the back. These shorter fans are ideal for walking acts, tricks and festivals.

Nedokonalosti: Two very small signs of wear are visible on the silk (almost invisible, pin-sized marks), so this pair no longer meets our premium standard. A chance to buy premium silk from our workshop at a reduced price.
Silk is one of the most expensive materials in the world. The price depends on the quality of the silk and its weight. Our goal is to offer a wide range of 100% silk that will suit your needs. Whether you are looking for fans from the cheaper category, with which you can do anything during training, or more expensive, higher-quality fans that are perfect for performing, everyone can choose from us.
What is the difference between training silk fans and premium silk fans?
are cheaper than premium fans. They are made of lighter 100% silk that flows beautifully in space. Because silk is lighter, it is more susceptible to abrasion or damage. All fans are inspected and meet our high quality standards. We make some fans ourselves and other fans are made by our partners abroad. Since we are just starting with the production and dyeing of silk and this process takes many years before each part is absolutely perfect, we also offer as training fans those that we make ourselves and do not meet our "premium" standard - that means, for example, that the color transition is not perfect whether there were small imperfections during the gluing of the silk to the wooden body. Due to the price of the silk itself, we try to send these fans to the world at a reduced price. You will be informed in advance of any imperfections that have no effect on the functionality of the fans. are more affordable than our premium fans. Made from lighter 100% silk, they flow beautifully through the air, but their delicate fabric is more prone to wear or damage. Every fan is inspected to meet our quality standards. Some are made in our workshop, while others come from trusted partners abroad. We are still perfecting our silk-dyeing and fan-making techniques, a process that takes years. Our training range therefore includes some handmade fans that fall just short of our premium standard – perhaps the colour gradient is not quite perfect or there is a tiny imperfection where the silk is attached to the wooden frame. Rather than waste valuable silk, we offer these fans at a lower price. Any imperfections that do not affect their performance are clearly stated in each product description.
Premium silk fans are made from 100% Habotai 8 or Pongé 5 silk, hand-dyed and assembled in our workshop. Every pair is unique – we never make two identical sets. The bottom edge is hemmed to prevent fraying, and the colours are heat-set so they retain their vibrancy. We recommend considering how you plan to use your fans before choosing the right material.
is soft, light and flows beautifully in space. It is more suitable for slower movement. Due to its weight, it is more "transparent" and the colors may appear less bright. Finer silk is more prone to tearing. So we recommend dancing with these fans inside. It is less controllable in light winds.

How to care for your new fans
100% silk is a material that requires special handling. There are a few basic rules to keep in mind:
1. if the silk is wrinkled, it does not flow in the space as we want. We recommend ironing at a low temperature time to time (silk program on the iron)
2. we recommend storing the silk loosely in the space (so that the silk part hangs freely) to prevent creasing
3. dancing with silk is not suitable in wet conditions (rain, fog, etc.). The bamboo part could be warped, the color gradients destroyed, the colors washed out or it could get mold if you left the fans wet in the bag. If your fans accidentally get wet, we recommend hanging them up and letting them dry completely. A low temperature ironing can also help.
4. silk is prone to tearing - some more, some less. If you use fans outside, always be aware of environment and remove, for example, branches that could tear the silk.
