I have a question about the fan. Is it mandatory for a jingle dancer to have a wing fan or can a regular fan do??

i see the majority of jinglers out there with tail fans, so i'm guessing either one will do

Either, just as long as you have one ;)

I agree. If you are dancing contemporary your best bet is a flat fan but a wing fan will do as well. If you are dancing old style jingle they dance without a fan or plumes in their hair and keep their steps to a very dignified shuffle of the feet changing the rhythm every now and then. The footwork must be balanced on both sides. I was taught to raise my hand on the honor beats in old style or keep my hands on my hips. In comtemporary you raise your fan on the honor beats.;) :Angel2
