Let's make this our small corner of the web for poi-related information including classes and events around Vancouver. We'll try to connect everyone who teaches, performs, wants to learn, or would simply like to meet with other poi-minded folk. Questions, additions, comments, feedback, sources of inspiration? Send them this way!

Here are some local poi-related links:

David Yates's little poi corner with a couple of poi concept articles, other tutorials, and updates about the latest poi spinning classes: www.nightanddaydance.com/poi/

Nick Woolsey's great site with tons of photos, videos, blog, and more: www.playpoi.com

One of the first places people look for fire gear: www.homeofpoi.com/

LED poi and other gear: www.flowtoys.com/home.php

A great option for fire and other tools from Seattle: www.luxotica.com

Another good source for local fire gear, and it's here: www.pyroprod.com

And here's yet another source for poi supplies including wick, fire poi, and other accessories. They're based just over in Victoria: www.primalfire.org/

How to make fire poi:

The version I used: 8stars.org/a/firemaking/wicks/
Luxotica's version: www.luxotica.com/education...ke/poi.cfm

And if you suggest more, I'll add 'em!
