For audience members less familiar with Chinese dance, the fanshen, or “windmill,” movements used extensively in Shen Yun’s performances can be an interesting sight to behold. People feel these look like propellers, electric fan blades, or are called by some, simply, “that helicopter move.” The “windmill” has many derivatives and applications in Chinese dance. It can be performed both as a transitional movement and as a standalone technique, producing an almost mesmerizing effect for the viewer.
