Fire?

topic posted Sun, June 11, 2006 - 4:37 AM by  Guillermo,
Hey all!
I've jus' recently moved back to VT, and am lookin' to network with any fire throwing people....
Drop a line my way if you know anyone...or if you are one!
I've been throwing fire for 'bout 8 years now, and throughout my travels have been inspired to organize a group of like minded folk in my home state

        To rekindle an old post.

        Thanks!

          Kaytee-

          Fire dancer right here, pending how you mean it.
          I am currently a fire poi spinner, and fire hooper.
          I am a intermediate beginner in belly dancing, am hoping to find a place to take more
          classes (soon!) and include palm torches/fans.

          I live in Southern Central Vermont.

            I am trading tribal bellydance lessons for fire lessons with one of my students right now. SHe does fire fans primarily, but we are working on fire belts soon. I just took a fan techniques workshop with Kaeshi Chi of NYC over the weekend - it was with silk fans, but I can't wait to play with fire fans and see what can cross over.

            You should come to the Khafif workshop on the 21st of June in Randolph! I am cohosting Safa for an Integrations and Isolations workshop.

              Oh Kaytee....

              Firebelts? I've never heard of them before. Silk fans are lots of fun ( i have 2 pairs, one long tails, one a short 4" bit).
              I would possibly come to the workshop, but I am unfortunately working that weekend..though it would be fun to meet up.

          Some of my good friends are poi spinners and one would love to move from juggling to fire juggling. They live in Montpelier area and in the St. J area. (I now live in NYC)

    Hi All!

    Danielle, I miss you so much, I'm moving back home! (Ok, well not really, but I am moving back!) :P
    Faye: I'm soo SO glad you got a ticket for Wildfire! Can't wait to welcome you home again! ;D (*hugs*)

    For everyone else:

    HI! My name's Holly, I'm an awesome person (so they tell me), and I spin fire. I'm mostly into Contact Staff, but I've a decent knowledge of poi, fans, fingers, some dart, and recently started with hoop. I can also safety for any crazy-ass toy you might want to spin. My home is in Manchester, VT, and it is always ALWAYS open to wonderful people.

    As I mentioned above, I will be moving home to Manchester in a little under 2 weeks. Starting September 1st I will be available for fun, fire & freakery (geekery + freaky fun) (er.. freaky fun + geekery). I would love to start a monthly potluck get together for people who want to spin/learn new moves, etc. I have space for burning & space for crashing, with some camping space.

    My background in the fire community: I'm a Wildfire Organizer, and I've been involved with the Boston Spinjam Scene for roughly 2 years. They are awesome people, I've learned a ton. I like to consider myself an intermediate/advanced to advanced staff spinner, with plenty of room for growth.

    Drop me a line if ya'll are interested in getting together for Fire, or for anything else!
    Huzzah for adventures!
