    Here's a sample of something... it's a start in the direction I'm looking for for fan movement, but is lacking alot in what I want to figure out. Maybe it'll be of some use tho, requires flash8:

      I've yet to see a fire fan video on the market to buy. You can find some "chinese fan dancing" videos though. The kata/dance/flourishes in these may be of some help to you. Also some early american fan dancing, but that's more burlesque(sp?) stuff; and likely not what you're looking for.

    this is not instructional but very spinny. It is mt girlfriend Annie she spins the fans alot, she uses her middle finger and locking positions to do most of it. i guess other peeps use their thumbs, but everyone has their own way.

    since my girl started dancing with fans I've found alot of great fan vids and was amazed at how diverse the styles are. much talent!
