SO WHAT EXACTLY IS FLAGGING OR FLAG DANCING???

 

It’s a high-energy dance form where colorful flags are spun in patterns with the body as extensions of the music.

Experienced flaggers can create almost dream-like effects by artistically mixing technical skill, liquid-like movements, and amazing athletic intensity. Throw in the strobes and black lights of a nightclub, set the whole thing to a good dance beat, and the results can be fantastically surreal.

Flag dancing draws its inspiration from Japanese fan dancing and Polynesian poi dancing (think Hawaiian fire twirlers), and this dazzling style of dance has begun to gain widespread popularity; from Boston to Brazil , from Texas to Thailand.

Whatever the origins, flagging is a great way to MEDITATE - a moving meditation. The rhythmic movements calm and relax you. It's also a great workout, especially for the arms and the core of the body. Join us and give it a try - it's fun!

 

Here is what members have said about recent classes:

J.G.:  "The flagging class in North Hollywood at www.dancefantasyproductions.com was SO enjoyable. You are a delightful teacher and I look forward to another class. This is grand exercise for "more mature" folks and is good for upper strength and flexibility of wrists, arms and shoulders. And, as you pointed out, a great reliever of stress in a meditative and artistic way. Please e-mail me and let me know of events and classes."

Laura: “ Flagging is fun, beautiful, good exercise, and stress relieving. ”

Babs: “ Really wonderful energy! ”

Mary: “ Very friendly group. ”

David: “ great place to learn flagging ”

Amy: "It's a great way to get in shape (especially the upper arms and core area) in a way that isn't boring. It's also a great way to learn new skills, stretch and make new friends! Great energy in the classes!"
