Poi lessons from the Kff fire show to the poi workshops
I have been spinning and juggling since 2003, and have since developed a strong passion for poi and circus in general. In recent years I’ve been getting more involved in the global community by sharing video tutorials on many technical moves, and blogging everything I play with on my tech blog. My mission right now is to travel the world, teaching and inspiring others, giving back to the community that helped me develop my art to what it is today.
I’ve been making lots of video tutorials in the last year or so, all of them are available on my youtube channel, as well as the Homeofpoi.com Library. There are some older tutorials I want to remake, as well as completely new ones I have planned. To be updated on new poi tutorials, video lessons, and poi workshops, you can subscribe to my newsletter
These tutorials are great if you plan on attending one of my poi workshops, These will give you a good base to expand upon, and will allow me to help you explore poi even further.
For those of you who don’t know, FireDrums is one of the best and biggest US Fire Festivals. Unfortunately I’ve missed it this year, but here’s a collection of great videos from the festival:
First off, a video released today by Nick Woolsey, an amazing poi spinner and teacher, who’s been doing a few poi retreats in Bali and Costa Rica in the last few years. This video is from a retreat in Costa Rica –
Next, a pretty old video of my friend Mireneye from Sweden, performing at JFF2008 (Japan Fire Festival). I love this routine for combining a few things I love- Poi, Dance, and Irish Music -
Next, another old video, of a guy from Hungary named Jedy. I like his spinning a lot, he’s very creative -
Last but definitely not least, a great video of Thomas Johansson, also from Sweden, performing at KFF2009 (Kiev Fire Fest). This guy has definitely been one of my biggest inspirations over the last year or so. He’s the one who inspired me to work on my dancing seriously, and I love him for it -
