The fan form appears to be a standardized routine created for competition or demonstration.
Yang Family Taiji does not have a fan form.
However , there are numerous fan form created by knowledgable teachers.

I have seen these forms in China. There is a basic, intermediate and advanced routine. The lady that choreographed the routines is called "Yang". That is why they are sometimes called the Yang Taiji Fan. I don't believe they have anything to do with the "Yang style".
