It leans against the wall, inert. Cold. Waiting for magic to awaken it. Brought to life—ANIMARE!—this incredible broom dances from side-to-side and around the performer, 360 degrees!
A beautiful prop, enchanting magic!
Most dancing brooms, even those crafted by well-intentioned professionals, are bottom heavy, influenced further by the drag of the bristles. To overcome these drawbacks, DIY brooms are lightened and manipulated until they no longer look like a broom.
The secret to the Animare Dancing Broom is proper internal balance and aerodynamic bristling. The visage is kept intact with authentic materials recognizable in a broad range of centuries—perfect for period performances.
- Real torched bamboo!
- Weighted for upright flight!
- Genuine old-fashioned broomcorn!
- Three Easy-Ring replacement gimmicks!
Luminaire Glow Option: the Dancing Broom is a treasured effect in theatrical performances of Cinderella. Some scripts call for a glowing, light-up broom. Select one of the options below, and your Animare Broom will include an installed LED beam feature in the tip.
Press-Style or Magnetic Switch: press a switch midway down the handle to activate the light, or opt for a magnetic switch (the dancing gimmick will include a magnet to trigger the light beam). Lean the broom against a stage flat and use another magnet (not included) on the other side to activate the light. Both styles use replaceable AA batteries.
Availability: please allow three weeks for your Animare Dancing Broom to ship. We harvest the bamboo and broomcorn at the time of order.
