Greetings, fire friends and fans ~

Fire Arts Academy is offering a special Introduction to Staff workshop in Campbell, this Saturday!

The workshop 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 Intro class includes 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 Staff covers the basics: Butterfly (in most forms), Weave, some behind the back, and more.

Price options for students:

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

Here is what some past and present students are saying about Fire Arts Academy:

"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
