Cheap Introductory Prices to Learn the Art of Fire Dancing, Poi or Staff

Fire Arts Academy is now offering Saturday and Sunday workshops in Campbell and San Francisco. FAA is now taking registration for these 3-hour workshops on going. August 1st FAA will be hosting a Toy Making workshop in Oakland for only $10 plus the cost of materials!

Workshops this summer include: Intro to Poi, Intro to Staff, Fans & Fingers, Intermediate Poi, and Performance Skills. Classes will be starting June 2nd, at Ariel Dance Studios, Winchester @ Budd, Campbell. Plenty of parking is available. The San Francisco workshops will take place in the Glen Park area, super-close to the Glen Park BART station.

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 practice with. The class space is limited, and spaces fill up quickly.

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, Corkscrew, and many others.

Intro to Staff covers the basics: Butterfly (in most forms), Weave, Corkscrew, and more.

Here is what some past and present students are saying:

"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
