Greetings, fire friends and fans ~
If you or your friends in the South Bay want to learn to spin fire this summer, now's the time to sign up! We have six upcoming classes in Campbell, and more may be added depending on interest. So, spread the word and get ready to ignite!
Fire Arts Academy is now taking registration for 3-hour workshops, taking place this summer in Campbell.
Workshops this summer include: Intro to Poi, Intro to Staff, Intermediate Poi, Fans & Fingers, and Performance Skills. The next workshop is July 14. Campbell classes will take place at Ariel Dance Studios, Winchester @ Budd, Campbell. Plenty of parking is available.
It's only $89 for a 3-hour workshop! A syllabus / study guide will be provided at the beginning of class for the students to take home and use to practice with. The class space is limited and spaces are filling up quickly, so register soon.
The Intro classes include many simple drills to get you started spinning and to improve your skills quickly. Students will learn a variety of moves for each toy, and techniques to put it all together. Students are welcome to join us in San Francisco for a follow-up class on fire safety and how to apply what they have learned to actual fire spinning, if the students feel they are ready. Everything is done according to personal comfort level. Fuel, safety, and fire poi provided for the on-fire lesson, as needed.
Intro to Poi covers the basic moves: Butterfly (in most forms), Weave, and many others.
Intro to Staff covers the basics: Butterfly (in most forms), Weave, some behind the back, and more.
Fans & Fingers teaches students a variety of moves and poses so they can feel comfortable performing with these exotic toys.
Intermediate Poi covers: complex transitions changing directions, Push-Through (threading the needle), body movement with poi, wraps, and more.
Performance Skills covers the basics of looking good and, most importantly, feeling confident while performing!

* One 3-hour workshop in Campbell: $89
* Private Poi or Staff Lesson: $50/hour

Here is what some past and present students are saying about Fire Arts Academy:
"Andrea was wonderful. She was very encouraging and gave us a lot of good tips." --- Linh
"Much funnier than yoga, but with the same sort of rewarding head space! I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to spin Zuni's, and ultimately FIRE, with Jon from Fire Arts Collective. Always known as the graceless wonder in my family, I was finally able to awe my folks, though they are surely afraid I've run off and joined the circus! Jon's teaching method is adept and kind and encourages quick
advancement, and we laughed our heads off while actually getting better -- learning + fun -- you can't beat that!" --- Kelly DeMartini
"I had no idea spinning fire would be so fun and become such a part of me. Jon is patient, insightful and encouraging, accepting my tangled fumblings with easy humor and working with me until I mastered each step. I look forward to taking many other classes with the Collective. Thank you, Jon!" --- Joe
