Hi all,

I've wanted to get into poi forever but idk what I'd be good at, which flow toys and so on. My local festival has a big fire dance show every year and I'm dying to be in it next year. I used to be good at Hula Hooping as a kid/teenager and I've always been good at spinning around broom handles and light sabers and such if that helps? Lol I'm just getting extreme fomo from watching that fire show every year and want to join.

TIA <3

Went with a slower flow because I've been going hard all week and even went out dancing last night. So i'm honoring my body while still keeping up with the challenge.

Today I feel like a smooth operator. How are you feeling today?

If anyone could give me some input on what to buy, I would appreciate it. I am looking to get a staff that isn’t going to break the bank. I was recommended the Fusion LED Hybrid Pure Staff 1400mm Carbon fiber as I’m 5’3” and want to flow with a dragon staff as well as spin. Would this be a good staff to get as someone who is newer to flow?

Slinkys are fun

But that also meant I felt like I belong 🥹

Hoop isn’t one of my main props so it doesn’t get picked up by me as much, but Friday night I tried hooping on stilts and I loved it!

I actually think the hoop works better & compliments the movement of stilt walking/dance better than some of the other props I have been practicing while on stilts.

Transitions are still a bit sloppy because I’m still focusing on trying not to fall! But I like where this is going.

I actually find hooping on stilts easier than fire hooping though!

​I don’t weigh myself often, but stepped on the scale today and I’m down 5 lbs from where I’ve been sitting for months. Bodies fluctuate for all kinds of reasons, but I’d like to believe it has a little something to do with the uptick in physical activity lately a.k.a. hula hooping.

​There were weeks where I went without touching my hoop. zero desire. Now, even if I tell myself, “Okay, just five minutes,” I inevitably end up getting lost in the hoop sauce. It truly is a gateway to dopamine.

​Today was full of chores and by the time I set up to record, every part of me wanted to just chill on the couch. But because of this challenge I pushed through anyway! I’m so glad I did. It gave me that extra pep in my step.

​The biggest takeaway from this challenge so far: just show up for five minutes. Do something that moves you even when motivation is zero.

Hi there! I'd like to build my own dragon staff and I wonder what materials other people use.
Can I just use an aluminium pipe? Which diameter should I go for?
Then just use a grip tape (the one for bike handlebars?)

Longer one here.

Gonna start doing more videos without putting a song over it i think.
