Poi Groove™ Basics
"Poi" literally means ball on a cord and originates with the Maori tribe of New
Zealand. Men, women and children have used the art to increase dexterity, coordination, flexibility, and strength for thousands of years. You'll learn over 30 different moves in forward and backwards, in split-time and parallel time including: Earth, Love, Butterfly, Dragonfly, Advanced Dragonfly, the Wave, Flirt, Chasing the Sun, Sun and the Forward and Backward Weave. You'll also learn how to link them all together with a class focusing on combinations and transitions. When you finish with this course, you will have a solid foundation in the art of poi spinning. You'll feel
comfortable enough to add in your own dance style. You'll also have a strong
knowledge on fire safety, including hands-on experience. You can either take this class twice a week for 6 weeks or once a week for 12 weeks.
The series ends with a special "lighting-up ceremony" where in a very safe setting, each individual will
have the opportunity to explore dancing with fire.

Fire Eating & Painting
This daring art form requires great skill and deep focus as the fire is almost
magically drawn across the body and placed into the mouth. Fire eating and
painting will bring you closer to the element than ever before, dissolving fear and
doubt, and creating complete confidence and awareness.
In this 2 hour workshop you'll
learn how to eat fire, tunnel (blow a small flame out of your mouth) and transfer the
flame from various body parts. This workshop is perfect for performers who'd like to add a little something to their repertoire. It's also great for people who are ready to conquer their fear of the flame.

Fire Fans
Fans are one of the most graceful forms of fire dancing. They allow the freedom to incorporate many different styles of dance and creative expression into a performance. They are absolutely mesmerizing to watch and so much fun to perform with! These workshops cover fan dance, choreography, performance, flow and technical moves. Each workshop builds in difficulty so we highly recommend taking them in order. There is an additional fee to attend the Fire Safety Workshop and Lighting Up Ceremony for those who are interested.
