Bal Anat Fan Dance

The Fan Veil Dance is a fusion fantasy dance choreographed by Jane Chung How, one of Suhaila’s longtime students and sponsors from Taiwan, who has extensive training in Chinese fan dancing technique and performance.  Jane Chung How had performed a fusion piece for Bal Anat as a soloist before, and Suhaila requested that she create a piece specifically for use by Bal Anat beginning in 2012.   Jane responsibly and seamlessly fuses traditional Chinese fan dancing with belly dance to create a lyrical choreography with depth and context.
