Re: Fire Dancing with Poi Workshop, Sydney

A 2-hour workshop followed by a Fire Jam on the beach (9pm, held by Fire Fairies) so you can practice your new moves!

Learn the basics starting from the beginning or fill in the gaps that are stopping you from achieving flow with your poi dance. We will explore planes, timing and direction to improve your poi flow and work at your level to get you fire dancing with confidence and grace.

Hi,

I'm interested in attending your event. It sounds like fun as everything I consider 'fun' involves heroin or fire. I think I saw this a few weeks ago when I was getting drunk on the beach. If this was your group, please accept my apologies for yelling out 'I hope you set your hair on fire.' It was the liquor talking.

One concern I have is my dancing. My friends say when I dance, I look like a teletubbie. Fire twirling is cool and teletubbies are not, so I need to change what I'm doing. Actually, is it possible to set a teletubbie on fire?

Another concern is my right arm. It sort of ends half way down my forearm, but I have a hook/claw attachment. It will be able to hold on the the fire ball thing, but I'm not sure about how 2 different length arms will effect the spinning. This in addition my dancing problems could be too much to overcome.

My final concern is about me catching fire. In order to put my hair into the style of the day, I use a lot of hair spray. If this catches fire, will you have an extinguisher to put it out? I've had to roll around in the sand before, but I got sand everywhere. I think the extinguisher would be a much cleaner option.

Once last thing, is the workshop all you can drink? If not, I may as well bring a liter of vodka with me, so if it turns out I can't do the twirling, I can at least get wasted and offer twirling advice to the other members in the group.
