<div>Hi poi people! <br/> <br/>I'm getting a few poi students together for Thursday mini poi classes at the Roundhouse. We'll start around 5:15, and use whatever space is available to us - sometimes outside, sometimes inside, sometimes with low ceilings, sometimes with high. We'll adjust to whatever space we're in and work on building technique, a strong repertoire of moves, smooth transitions, and ways to move with the poi.. 3-6 is a good number of students. $10 for one hour. <br/> <br/>If you're interested in setting up private lessons on a schedule that suits you better, let me know! I also teach on a couple of other days, and can probably work something out. <br/> <br/>Happy spinning! <br/>David <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>I forgot to mention that the Winter Solstice workshop was canceled--not enough students to make it happen! <br/> <br/>In its place we're teaching five more weeks of a drop-in poi+movement class for all levels. The first one was awesome--ten people did improvisational things I haven't seen with poi in a loooong time! This week we'll add even more movement and more poi concepts, so it should be fun! <br/> <br/>Wednesdays <br/>8:15 to 9:45 pm <br/>Roundhouse Community Centre <br/>$14 drop-in <br/>All levels <br/>Bring your own poi, borrow ours, or buy a practice pair <br/> <br/>Hope to see you there! <br/> <br/> <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Yep, 12:39 am--a perfect time to post an update and say I WILL be at Robson Square tomorrow. I haven't heard if anyone plans to drop in, but I'll be ready to teach if anyone wants to be taught. Otherwise I'll be working on a bunch of things by myself. I have even more new moves and ideas to play with and perfect and integrate into my spinning! Hooray!

<div>Let's plan something special to celebrate a year's worth of meeting at 2pm on Saturdays to play with our skill toys (and with our friends)... <br/> <br/>May I suggest another stunning potluck affair? Bring something to share, maybe we can persude the ladies to bust out the picnic blanket again.. and I think fantastical costume-esque clothing would be fun, too, if anyone would like to join me in that! <br/> <br/>So, Saturday, November 3rd, 2pm onwards at the sidewalk in front of the cafe at the Vancouver Art Gallery or downstairs at the Robson Square rink if it is raining. Please come! <br/> <br/>(I do still plan to be coming to this NEXT Saturday Circus as well, but I know that many folks will be busy with Halloween prep stuff, so the celebration is set for the following week....) <br/> <br/>Wheee! <br/> <br/>Please go to this same thread in the Vancouver Hoopers tribe to add to the list of whatever lovely nibblies you're planning to bring! <br/> <br/>X.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Three things, my friends: <br/> <br/>1) This Saturday is the on-going wonderful play circus at Robson Square. 2pm onward, all sorts of lovely people gather and spin poi, juggle, hoop, and more. Join us! It's free! It's at Robson Square! It's one of the best parts of the week! <br/> <br/>2) From 1 to 2 pm, I teach a drop-in poi class for $10. I'll teach you as much as you can learn. I'll watch what you do and give you constructive feedback. I can usually spot what's happening in students' bodies, translate it to words, make suggestions to work on, and help them reach a breakthrough. Join us! <br/> <br/>3) I've "mastered" hyperloops! This doesn't mean I do them absolutely perfectly every time, but it does mean I do them decently 3/4 of the time, and I now know what all the tutorial videos all across the internet are not teaching. I'll show you! Promise! <br/> <br/>That's it. Hope to see you out there!

<div>So for I haven't heard from any of the usual drop-in poi people, but I'd still like to go down to Robson Square at 1 pm this Saturday and teach. Anyone interested? Let me know! It's $10 for an hour of everything you can squeeze into your brain/body! I have poi you can use, and sometimes music. <br/> <br/>Let me know if I can expect to see you there!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div> <br/>I had such an awesome time on World Hoop Day at the potluck/hoopfest at English Bay, that I'd like to try to recreate it to celebrate my 35th birthday, which is on Sept 19th.. but we'll do this a few days early, so more people will hopefully be able to come! <br/> <br/>When: Sunday September 16th 2007, 2pm onwards <br/> <br/>Where: The grassy knoll just west of Denman and Pacific, if we can snag that lovely spot again.. or somewhere else nearby. Rain plans: Robson Square <br/> <br/>What: potluck and hooping (and juggling, and poi...)! Bring some finger-friendly food to share (perhaps list it below so we can get a good selection again!), hoops, and a blanket to lounge on... a stereo would be lovely, too, if someone would care to cart one with batteries along... <br/> <br/>Who: you and any lovely friends who would like to join us! If you are an outgoing person, it would be great if you helped make any of my non-hooping friends who make an appearance feel part of the group! <br/> <br/>Why: 'cause its my birthday, and I'd love to celebrate it with you.. help me erase the memory of my last (really really bad) party... which was probably at least six years ago, 'cause I got scared and haven't really bothered to celebrate myself since! Now, it's time! <br/> <br/>Please, no gifts other than the gift of your company (and some yummy food!) <br/> <br/>Will you come? Please? :) <br/> <br/>X. <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Not a long happens here in vancouverpoi, so I thought I'd post a few things to whet curiosities, spark inspiration, and maybe even promote commenting and discussion. The first is Nick Woolsey's website: <br/> <br/>www.playpoi.com, <br/> <br/>and especially the video section: http://www.playpoi.com/videos. There are some great tutorials here for the behind-the-back weave, 5-beat weave, under-the-leg movement, and a newer move that he calls super duper uberloops, or uberloops for short. I especially love the possibilities that uberloops open up for whole body movement. Wonder how long it takes to get it down? <br/> <br/>I know that NIck would love to receive feedback for his work, and comments here are also appreciated. Are you working on any of these moves? Do you have questions about them? New ways of using them? Observations? Let's hear your thoughts!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Next are other videos. <br/> <br/>Actually, I have to admit that I avoid videos in general. I don't practice NEARLY enough to stay up to date with the latest poi spinning trends, so usually videos just get me down. There's a lot of wonderful stuff out there that I can't/don't do. (Yet?) <br/> <br/>On the other hand, there are times when I simply need new input, new ideas, new moves to decipher and learn, and so I turn to videos. That's not a paradox, is it? <br/> <br/>Here are two worth watching: <br/> <br/>Yuta, whose style is so clean and smooth, does everything I like and want to do, but better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCcLZUT81Lw <br/> <br/>For some pure tech poi craziness, here's Zan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uNyVZxxf7Y <br/> <br/> <br/>Other people's videos also show that we're not alone. You can find a lot of people struggling with the same things you are. Watching them might be insightful. Of course, you'll also find people being creative in the same way you are. I thought I was starting to play with stalls in new positions until I watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUt6Wf71h7I. Oh well! I'm not the only one, and that's okay! <br/> <br/>Do you have any favorites?

I've seen it used in small dog collars, but they're only about 12-14 inches. (need about 18-20") <br/> <br/>Any suggestions on where we can get this by the foot/meter?

<div>I know. I've dropped the poi ball. I've left everyone in the dark. Is the Week of Poi going to happen? <br/> <br/>Interest was quite low, so I let things sit for a while. I'm also moving at the end of the month, so that, along with several performances and a lot of teaching, has been taking up my time. August is looking a little kinder. <br/> <br/>Are any poi spinners out there still interested in doing some intense poi practice over the course of a week? Would once or twice a week be better for you instead? Let me know, and we'll set something up. <br/> <br/>I'll be closer to the Drive after the move, so maybe I'll jam at a park over there and invite people along.

<div>I just finished editing some footage of Soundwave 2007 and in it I’ve cut three clips of “fire dancing” (is it okay to call this fire dancing or is the word “Poi” set in stone?) <br/> <br/>Anyway I thought some would enjoy this … especially the person performing on the third clip … the reason being is because she had a little accident before she got started and I’m sure she would have mentioned what happened but probably forgot how good her dance was … so if anyone knows who she is then please send her the clip … I think she will enjoy seeing it (especially considering what happened) <br/> <br/>Here is the link to my blog about the video <br/>http://www.chycho.com/?q=soundwave2007_chycho <br/> <br/>and this is the direct link to google video (11:39) <br/>http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-3843756752424292519 <br/>best <br/> <br/>chycho <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>This weekend my wife, a friend and I are performing at the Summer Dream Reading Festival, so that's where I'll be instead of Robson Square tomorrow. Happy spinning to everyone who braves the forecasted rain and goes out to hoop, spin, juggle and play! If you're looking for something to do in the Stanley Park area, our 15 minute piece should prove to be fun and humorous (or disastrous, which could also be funny). It's sandwiched between plenty of literary talent as well. Look here at 3:30 pm: <br/> <br/>http://www.pandorascollective.com/sdrfestival.html <br/> <br/>See you later!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>This weekend most of the Robson Square jugglers and spinners and hoopers will be elsewhere, most likely at the Folk Fest at Jericho Beach. I recommend visiting even if you don't have tickets to get inside--there's quite a culture of booths, drumming, food and more outside the fence along the water. It's worth seeing at least once. <br/> <br/>Poi classes seem to be on an indefinite hiatus. I'll let you know right here when they start up again! <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>(many poi moves translate incredibly well to hooping, come see!) <br/> <br/>3:30-5:00pm at the Dance Centre, Davie and Granville St <br/> <br/>$30 if you have a hoop, $35 to rent a hoop. <br/> <br/>Learn vertical and horizontal hand-hooping, swings and hand-to-hand passes, jumps and skipping, as well as figure-8s, spins, stalls, tosses and turns! Visit the Images page at http://christahoops.com to see videos of some of these moves :) <br/> <br/>We will not be practicing any on-body hooping, so using a lightweight kiddie hoop is fine (even recommended, if you have concerns about developing bruises on your hands from hand-hooping with the usual adult-weight hoops) as long as you can still step or jump through the hoop (slow-motion is fine!) <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/>You can PM me here on Tribe if you have any questions, or register by emailing christahoops@gmail.com <br/> <br/>Visit http://christahoops.com to see more workshop and weekly class dates (Mondays at the Roundhouse start next week!) and visit the HoopShop page if you're interested in buying a hoop! <br/> <br/>X.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Yes, I'll be at Robson Square long enough this weekend to teach a drop-in class! Finally! Sorry for the long delay! Come learn a few new moves for an hour. I'll show you as much as I can in the time we have together. <br/> <br/>So, once again: <br/> <br/>Robson Square <br/>this Saturday <br/>1 pm <br/>$10 <br/> <br/>Then stay afterward and keep spinning, hooping, and juggling with all the others who hang out together every Saturday! i love it and I would be there every week if I could.

<div>Hey everybody, <br/> <br/>We were shut down at the beach last week. That's right - we were told not to have fire there any more. So, for this week, We were thinking of trying Trout Lake. It seems that lots of spinners are from the east side so it might make sense to have it in the neighborhood. It's also close to the sky train for easy access. If this doesn't work out, we can always move back to Kits, except we would have to go farther down the beach. <br/> <br/>So - This week - Trout Lake <br/>- Next week - we'll keep you posted. <br/> <br/>Please pass the word to anyone who might not get this message. <br/> <br/>When you get to Trout Lake, follow the path in from the parking lot and turn left when you reach the water. The path leads to a gravel area with wooden bleachers. It's a good, safe spot to spin. <br/> <br/>See you there :-)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I'm sorry to report that this week I'm not yet sure if I can commit to a 1 pm drop-in class at Robson Square. I may be there. I may not. And that makes it hard for anyone who would like to show up! The problem is that weekends are a prime time to look at apartments and suites, and I don't always know what time I'll have to go. <br/> <br/>If you're really interested in a poi class tomorrow, you could call me before 12 pm to find out if I'm going: 604-318-3175. Otherwise, I'll see you on some future week! <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Drop-in classes resume this weekend, and I plan to stick around for the next several Saturdays. The only thing that might interrupt us now are the festivals coming our way. Of course, that just means spinning and dancing all weekend instead of for a few hours! <br/> <br/>So, the details, once again: <br/> <br/>Saturday, June 2nd <br/>1 to 2 pm class - $10 <br/>2 pm onward -- open play time, with spinning, juggling, hooping and more <br/>Robson Square at Robson and Howe downtown <br/>I have poi to try, or you can bring your own! <br/> <br/>Hope to see you there! <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Once again I'll be out of town this weekend. Heading south to see my family, finally, which will be nice. The next drop-in poi class will happen on June 2nd. <br/> <br/>In the meantime, I highly recommend you visit Robson Square at 2 pm anyway, and hang out with the rest of the circus--poi spinners, jugglers, hoopers, unicyclers, and more--it's an incredible time with incredible people. You'll learn plenty with them, too, since everyone is so willing to share what they know. <br/> <br/>Let me know if you have questions!

<div>The time approaches once again. Come out to Robson Square at 1 pm this Saturday and learn to spin poi! <br/> <br/>Last time, since it was sunny, we met up at the top of the stairs. This time I think I'll have everyone gather at the bottom of the stairs so we have more room and don't get in people's way. At 2 pm we can all join the horde of happy hoopers, jugglers and other spinners. <br/> <br/>The cost is just $10. I have poi you can borrow for the hour if you don't have your own yet. <br/> <br/>Questions?

<div>I have two new students who have requested a Wednesday morning class because they can't come on Saturdays, so this week we are meeting at Robson Square at 11 am. <br/> <br/>They are paying $20 each, since it is a semi-private lesson, but if more people come, the price will drop. Let me know if you're interested in joining us, and I'll plan accordingly! <br/> <br/>If you have any questions, please let me know. Feel free to call me as well: 604-318-3175. <br/> <br/>Happy spinning! <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Drop-in class will resume this weekend at Robson Square. It's just $10, and I'll teach you as much as I can in one hour. All level poi spinners are welcome--there is always something I can show you to help take you further in your practice. And, if you're totally new, this is also a perfect place to get started and then practice with other new spinners. Let me know if you have any questions! <br/> <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Nope, sorry, my poi spinning friends! I'll be preparing for a performance on Saturday night, and my wife and I need all the practice time we can get. That means that the next drop-in poi class will happen next week instead, March 17th at 1 pm. Hope to see you there! <br/> <br/>Of course, this doesn't mean you shouldn't show up at 2 pm to jam instead. There are always hoopers, and lately we've even had some jugglers and poi spinners stick around to play for a while. The more the merrier, the faster you'll learn, and the more fun you'll have on your Saturday afternoon!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>After this past weekend's brief Winterruption, drop-in poi class will once again resume at Robson Square at 1 pm on Saturdays. I work with students of all levels, and you don't even need poi for the first few classes--I have plenty for you to try! <br/> <br/>Let me know if you have any questions.

<div>I'm a total convert to the cult of sock poi! <br/> <br/>Just kidding about the cult part, but the convert part is true. I've had more success practicing, finding, creating, and mastering new moves with sock poi than with anything else. I know I have to practice with chains if I want to continue performing fire, but on a day to day basis it's the socks that give me the most giddy joy. <br/> <br/>What I want to know is if anyone out there has found a good source of socks that are <br/> <br/>1) Long <br/>2) tubular (no foot shape in my socks, please!) <br/>3) and stretchy (but not too too stretchy) <br/> <br/>Now, I did find some striped clown socks at Party Bazaar just east of the Cambie bridge, but they're a bit thick and hard to grip for some people. They don't actually stretch that much, but they feel just fine. In fact, I use them all the time now. <br/> <br/>I've heard that the type of socks for which I yearn are easily found in the UK. Why there and not here? <br/> <br/>I'm considering buying fabric and making a long cone-like tube. If the fabric were white, I could put a globall in the end and have doubly cool night sock poi. Any masters of the thread and needle out there? I have a sewing machine, but it confuses me more than computers. <br/> <br/>Let's scour the town and find the source for the coolest socks! In addition to the three requirements above, bright colors and patterns earn the prize!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>Okay, so I didn't get anyone registered in my Friday night class, but I still have the studio space, SO.... if you would like to have a warm, dry space to work on your own stuff or just dance around, but not muck around with renting a studio yourself, you're welcome to come down and join me. I may be working on my own moves, or teaching private lessons, so please be aware that this will not be a lesson night! <br/> <br/>Bring your own music if there's something specific you want to practice with, or just come and groove with whatever I've got hooked up :) The sound system takes both CDs and iPods/MP3 players. <br/> <br/>So, 8:30-9:30pm, the space is at HarbourDance, 927 Granville up on the top floor, the studio is to the right of the stairs. $5 drop-in, cash only, paid to me when you come in the door, first-come-first-served (though I'd be SHOCKED if there was more than a dozen people showing up).. and I'll try this out for the remainder of the Friday nights in January and see how it works out! <br/> <br/>I'll be there, so no advanced committment is required.. drop in if you want :) <br/> <br/>X.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 4 replies </div>

A few people have shown up quite frazzled after searching for it. Remember that the space is under the intersection of Robson and Howe St downtown, next to the art gallery!

<div>Hi everyone. I have a few tidbits of info for those of you who are interested in wick. <br/> <br/>1) For the hoop I'm making, I'm using 18 inches per spoke. That gives a slightly fatter rolled head for a slightly longer burn and bigger flame. It isn't completely necessary, but I'd rather use slightly more than I need than less. Of course, this will be a performance hoop, and a longer burn is essential. If you're spinning for fun for now, less wick is okay. If you're building a hoop and want wick, let me know what length you need and how many spokes you're using. <br/> <br/>2) For poi I suggest 5 to 6 feet per poi head. <br/> <br/>3) If you want to buy wick, and if you let me know how much you need before you see me, I can cut it to length for you. This includes applying white glue to the cut to prevent unravelling. If I simply bring the whole roll and cut it when I see you, you'll end up with one unravelled end. This means you should also use white glue when you cut your wick to the right lengths for your hoop or poi. <br/> <br/>3) And once again, I have the 2 inch wide, 1/16 inch thick (though it seems thicker), non-wire-inserted stuff. $2 per foot. <br/> <br/>That's all! See some of you tomorrow!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>So I'd like to know how many poi spinners out there are interested in learning to build fire poi. I have two requests so far to teach/help make fire poi, and it's starting to sound like we could make a workshop out of it. I'll provide a list of materials, you buy them (or I do, for a slight fee probably), and we get together and build them. I wouldn't charge per hour. It'd be more like a one-time class fee. Sound good? <br/> <br/>I'll post the materials list with photos on my website in the next couple of days. Possibly tomorrow. In the meantime, I just need to know who is interested and when the best time may be for a workshop. <br/> <br/>Until then! <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 7 replies </div>

<div>This could be it, folks--the last poi class of 2006: <br/> <br/>Saturday, December 16th from 1 to 2 pm. <br/>Robson Square (*under* the intersection of Robson and Howe St downtown, next to the Vancouver Art Gallery) <br/>All levels. All types of poi. All kinds of moves and ideas to fill your head! <br/>Just $10 drop-in. <br/> <br/>After that I'll be making a much needed visit to Seattle to see my family. It's ever-so-slightly possible that I'll be able to offer one last class on January 30th, but that will really only be if someone out there requests it. Otherwise I get too sad spinning alone. :( <br/> <br/>It would be great to see you all there! And remember--from 2 pm on is a great jam with poi, hoops, and more! <br/> <br/>David <br/>604-318-3175</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>And one more reminder: <br/> <br/>This Friday, December 15th is the hoop and poi party at Harbour Dance. The best thread for info is here: <br/> <br/>http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverhoopers/thread/f831677b-9c80-40c2-801b-d311dbbbdd52 <br/> <br/>After that I'll be heading over to Just Dance to dance my heart out and probably spin poi as well. It's a fantastic place to let loose without fear of judgement--a totally welcoming crowd. Let me know if you want more info. I'd love to see some poi and hoop people there! <br/> <br/>David</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>This week all those interested in lessons have two awesome options in addition to a great chance to practice your stuff for free. <br/> <br/>1) This Friday is Just Dance (http://www.justdance.ca), and that means I teach poi from 5 to 6 pm before setting up. It's just $15 to drop in, and all levels are welcome. You'll walk away with a headful of awesome new poi ideas. The only requirement is that students who want to take this class confirm with me before coming! <br/> <br/>2) This Saturday I'll once again teach a drop-in lesson at Robson Square. It's $10, and another chance to fill your head with crazy poi spinning silliness. Beginners are welcome as always. I have lots of poi to try! <br/> <br/>More info here: http://www.nightanddaydance.com/poi/classes/ <br/> <br/>3) At 2 pm, Robson Square starts hoppin' with more poi people, hoopers, capoeiristas, pop 'n lockers, and more! I heard that the juggles may start showing up next! Stay to practice or to try something new. It's free, it's fun, and you won't want to go home! <br/> <br/>That's all for now. Any time you need more info, send me a message or give me a call! <br/> <br/>David <br/>318-3175</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I've written up a new concept page about the Secret of Circles. It's more an introdction to an idea rather than a how-to guide, but it's a great starting point for a mental poi spinning warm up.

<div>Tomorrow at Robson Square, the Random Circus begins! I've been having an awesome time not only spinning there on Saturday afternoons but meeting tons of interesting people as well. <br/> <br/>Details: <br/> <br/>Tomorrow, November 18, beneath Robson and Howe <br/> <br/>1pm - drop-in poi lesson for all level students, just a measly ten bucks! You'll walk away with more new ideas than you thought possible! <br/> <br/>2pm - hoopers arrive, and more people too, and it's a chance to spin, hoop, and play for the rest of the afternoon! there's always music! <br/> <br/>That's it. Nice and simple. Hope to see everyone there! <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Nick Woolsey just added a couple of poi spinning videos to his website, and one in particular amazes me. It's all the moves I feel like I've been working on over the years, plus more, but transitioned so well it boggles my mind. Check it out! <br/> <br/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aiE3x_Ay2k&amp;eurl=</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>To make it easy, I want to post the events I'm involved in right here in one place: <br/> <br/>Saturdays - 2 pm - Robson Square - free! - We gather with the hoopers to spin poi, practice, try hooping, and learn from each other. <br/> <br/>Thursdays - 5 pm - Robson Square (this week only) - $10 drop-in - I teach a drop-in group lesson for anyone who wants to polish their skills, learn new moves, add dance to their spinning, and receive feedback. You'll discover whole new realms of spinning that never before occurred to you! <br/> <br/>Fridays - 5 pm - Just Dance this week - $15 drop-in - just like Thursday classes, I teach a drop-in class for anyone who wants to join in. Just Dance is a great venue and event in its own right, and it's worth sticking around for. Info here: http://www.justdance.ca. Map here: http://www.nightanddaydance.com/maps/justdance.html <br/> <br/>That's it for now. I'll be sure to update everyone when new events are created!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 4 replies </div>

<div>This is the birth of the Vancouver Poi Tribe! I hope to make this a place for curious folk to find info about poi spinning in Vancouver. Classes, events, gatherings, sources of materials, etc. We're distinguished slightly from fire tribes in that we only deal with non-charred poi here: sock, streamer, tennis ball, flag, stocking, glow, and other poi are our focus. Once I figure out how this thing works, I'll connect it to the Vancouver fire tribe for easy crossover. That's it! Thanks for visiting!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/vancouverpoi">Vancouver Poi</a> - 3 replies </div>
