Hello fish lovers Smile

Because I'm part of a group that is trying to spread awareness of this ever growing art form, I'd like to share it with you all Smile
SeattleFireGate is the group that consists of people who are into flow arts.

What is flow arts, you ask?
Flow Arts is a fast-growing fitness and meditation practice that blends play, exercise and dance into a fun and healthful activity that moves the body, stills the mind and uplifts the spirit. It's a physical workout that is also a brain booster, a relaxing way to chill out, and a compelling performance art.  

I'll post future fire spinning events and dates in this thread, so if you ever want to watch me and my friends do something we love, please come down and watch Smile


If you're ever in the Kitsap Area, I just started out a group called "Kitsap Flow Arts" which focuses more on non-fire flow arts, and I would definitely appreciated it if you went to my page and "like" it!

Here's a short video of me spinning fire, and how it looks like.

JimA, you said baton? Here's your baton! BUT THIS TIME, ON FIRE!! Hahaha... oh and it's attached to string, but because there was so much ambient light, the string can easily be seen. The illusion is to make it look like it's a levitation wand, but... you can just imagine that the string isn't there. Hahaha!! Very Happy

nick_76, thanks! Well hey, you can always learn in your spare time, or you know..when you're bored hehehe... if you manage to come down to one of the events, just approach me, and I'd be more than happy to teach you a thing or two! Smile You'll be spinning fire in no time! Hahahaha

This is so amazing...what a fun thing and spectacular to watch I am sure. Maybe some day John and I (in his retired time...yeah) can make it over for a performance. That would be awesome.

I've never heard of the event... so I don't think I will be there. I'm not sure if there will be any fire spinning at the event, unless the event planner hired a troupe or something... hehe

hahahaha, I think it would be great to have your daughter spinning poi when she gets older! I do know that the art of spinning non-fire poi balls, are similar, but focuses more on rhythm and hitting the poi against your body to make patterned beats. It's basically what fire spinning derived from! Very Happy
