Looking for the best performance staves, fans and props?
You’re in the right place!
When I started fan dancing, I found the available options difficult to maneuver and fragile to gig with. Nothing wrong with the feathers, I turned my attention to the structure (staves, planks or sticks) that supported them. Since 2013, I’ve continued developing on my metal stave invention and expanding with new offerings always with the same goal… build fan props that enhance your performance.
Whether you are just getting started with fans or an established fan dancer, there is no competition to the quality, durability and customizability of my work. Plus, when you opt for my staves, you are supporting previous and future innovation of this iconic prop.
