Here is what some past and present students are saying:

"Andrea was wonderful. She was very encouraging and gave us a lot of good tips!" --- Linh

"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

"Andrea was great!!! I only wish we had time for another lesson before Burning Man!!" --- John G.

"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
