Ready to turn your fire spinning into fire dancing? Explore your inner flow in this dynamic Poi Workshop led by Mark O'Dea, a local fire-dancer with 10+ years of experience.
Join us for a beginner-friendly, 1-hour workshop where you'll learn the fundamentals of poi, one of the most visually captivating props in both the fire dance and flow arts communities. All flow arts advocates and aspirants are welcome! You'll learn how to spin, move, and create patterns that blend coordination, rhythm, and self-expression.

What to Expect:
-Safety First: Essential safety protocols and safety expectations. (No fire involved!)
-Fundamental Movement: Learn core poi movements and theory with an introduction to basic spinning patterns
-Musicality & Flow: We'll begin the long journey of exploring how to connect your movements to the music, making your spinning more like dancing.

The goal is to get you comfortable and confident in a supportive environment. Whether you're curious about flow arts, looking for a fun new way to move, or hoping to one day spin fire like a pro, these workshops are the perfect place to start.

Please note: This clinic does not involve the use of real fire. All instruction will involve dry practice poi, ideal for safe learning and skill-building. Please bring your own poi.

Dislocs, Inlocs, Swing to Sit/Cross-arm Front Balance, Back C, and Pirouettes

Sunday, November 22, 2026

12:15-2:15PM

$100 - Book here

Always wanted to learn some of the scary but really fun and bad*ss skills like dislocs? Now you've got the height (and room between the straps) to do so.

Each dynamic skill taught will move from ground, to low, to high spotted to psychologically spotted progressions with a clear benchmark so you know when you're as safe as possible to move on. Each skill covered will also include recommendations on the top 3 off-apparatus strength exercises to increase the ease and success for that skill.

Recommended Prerequisites:

Experience with front/back and turn-pike/side swings on straps (or another apparatus), experience training skin the cats, and the desire to move progressively, safely, and be brave.

Exploring C-shaping and Fast Twisting Up Your Apparatus

Sunday November 22, 2026

10AM-12PM

$100 - Book here

No matter what vertical apparatus is your jam (or jelly?), this workshop will cover the key technique, strength, and flexibility elements that increase the likelihood of success for moving from your Front C (or hipkey) to your Back C (or back balance) AND moving from your Back C another rotation up to your Front C. 

Drills covered will highlight methods for self-spotting the full rolls so you can rehearse the pathway as much as your heart desires. 

Each position and part of the waist roll will be broken down to give you a clear understanding of the muscle activation, body balance, and limb placement needed for YOUR body. 

Recommended Prerequisites:

Experience with c-shaping of any kind, ability to hold a front balance or hipkey on silks, rope, or sling. No pain in any of the floor c-shape positions.
