No! The Silk Fan Intensive is designed to guide you step by step, making it perfect for beginners. If you've already danced with silk fans but are new to Victoria's style, you'll also learn how to refine your technique, learn Victoria's unique techniques and grip changes, improve your flow, add more expression, and receive personalized coaching to take your dancing even further.

Already trained in Victoria’s Teel Fan style through her previous classes, workshops, or private lessons? The Silk Fan Lab may be a better fit for your next step. 

No. The techniques taught inside the Intensive work with most standard silk fans. Victoria will use Teel Fans and XLong Teel Fans throughout the video lessons, but you are welcome to use whichever type of fans you prefer. You'll also receive a guide to help you choose the best silk fans for your goals, budget, and dance style.

Yes! The Intensive is designed for both complete beginners and experienced silk fan dancers who are new to Victoria’s Teel Fan techniques and style. If you already dance with silk fans but learned through other teachers or styles, the Intensive will give you the foundation in Victoria’s signature techniques and then move into fluidity, expression, audience connection, and making the fans feel like an extension of your body.

Already experienced with Victoria’s Teel Fan style? If you’ve previously trained with Victoria through online classes, workshops, or private lessons, the Silk Fan Lab is a better next step for continued training and exploration. If you’re experienced with Victoria's fan techniques and specifically interested in the Intensive for the personalized coaching, expression, audience connection, or other advanced elements, reach out to us and we’ll help you decide which option is the best fit.

All lessons inside the Silk Fan Intensive are pre-recorded so you can learn, pause, practice, and rewatch them on your own schedule.

Your personalized coaching is flexible too. Instead of having to attend a live call at a specific time, you’ll submit your weekly videos and monthly check-ins online for Victoria to personally review.

That means you get the flexibility of self-paced learning with personalized coaching and Victoria’s eyes on your progress along the way.

Your coaching is personalized to you and your dancing. Each week that you’re inside the Intensive, you’ll have the opportunity to submit a movement video following the provided instructions. Victoria will personally watch your video and give you individualized feedback on your technique, fluidity, expression, and what to focus on as you continue training.

Once a month, you’ll also complete a deeper progress check-in where you can share how your training is going, what you’re struggling with, and any obstacles getting in your way. Victoria will use this to help guide your next steps and make recommendations specific to your progress.

If you’re working around a past injury, Victoria can also provide personalized movement modifications to help you train safely.

There are no live coaching calls to schedule, so you can receive personal support without having to rearrange your calendar. The weekly video submissions and monthly check ins are completely optional, so you can use these coaching opportunities whenever they fit your training and schedule.

Everyone's body is different. If you're working around a previous injury or physical limitation, Victoria can provide personalized movement modifications and recommendations to help you train safely and confidently.

You’ll receive 6 months of access to the Silk Fan Intensive, giving you plenty of time to learn and practice at your own pace.

We intentionally chose a six-month timeframe because we want you to use the Intensive, stay engaged with your practice, and make meaningful progress, not purchase another course that gets put aside for “someday.”

But life happens and we’ve got you covered!

If an unexpected illness, injury, family emergency, or need to care for a loved one gets in the way of your training, simply reach out to us. We’ll extend your access so you don’t lose the opportunity to complete your Intensive because life got in the way.

You have a timeframe to keep you moving forward, without the fear that an unexpected life event means losing your chance to finish.

The lessons are available through your online student portal and are not downloadable. During your access period, you can watch each lesson as many times as you'd like. The checklists and other resources that are PDFs are downloadable. 

Absolutely! You don't have to be a performer to enjoy the Silk Fan Intensive. Whether you dance at home, in classes, at haflas, or on stage, the goal is to help you become a more confident, expressive, and unique dancer.
