$80 – Does not include materials. Drop in classes: $15
Class Description:
During this class you will learn the fundamentals of poi dancing; windmills, wheels, butterflies and weaves while also learning how to flow around in circles transitioning between them! With this excellent foundation you will be able to later integrate any other dance moves into your personal routine and perform it safely.
Each week we will go through a small sequence of moves and transitions (class program includes about 30) that link together into a full and beautiful routine that you can perform during the last lesson when you get to use fire for the first time! After learning all about fire safety first ;).

Rope Dart (a long cotton rope with one fire-head at the end), originally a soft weapon, has been introduced to the fire arts as a performance element.

During this class students will learn numerous ways of shooting and retrieving the rope dart, including, arm wraps, neck wraps, knee wraps, foot kicks and jumps learned from traditional Wushu methods.
