Cheers for all your welcoming messages and banter. Yeah I can't wait to meet up with some of you and see how it's really done!
Well, had my second lesson today and managed the 3beat weave today lol so hopefully if I keep up at this speed I'll be spinning fire in no time ;-))
By the way, not being funny, but does 'play' mean something els? Only I saw it mentioned in a few replies and it sounds like it means something...guess I still gotta learn all the jargon.
My daughter's 10 on Sat so it'd be cool when I've taught her some. The full moon evenings on the beach sound good, can kids go to them?
Well send me details whoever you are!
Thankies

Well the next full moon's on Sat (it's a blue moon too) but it's my girl's b'day so not sure if I'll make that or not. Maybe I'll wanna come on my own anyway, do you guys have a drink or anything and how long do they usually last? Question, questions....

They usually go on til quite late. Some people have a drink. There's sometimes drummers and a bonfire. Last year was my first year going so I went towards the end of summer when it actually got dark early heh, so we'll have to see what times they're playing with etc.
Hows the poi progress? |

I was off my rocker today when I managed to do the 3beat (she blushes) such a big grin on my face I felt well chuffed with myself!!
Oh I learnt the corkscrew
Both of these things I have since found out when trying again later, that they are now unlearnt, and ready to be learned again another day :~( |

hehe.
Hey! Corkscrew is a great one to have grasped! If you can corkscrew, you can windmill (just stand up).
And if you can windmill you can split shoulder reel.
And if you can split shoulder reel you can shoulder reel.
And if you can shoulder reel you have the basis of hip reels.
BEAUTIFUL. |

| its fantastic stuff, this poi lark :P because you can really notice changes in your flexibility, stamina and strength, flowers are a great example, they really screw with your mind AND your shoulder muscles, but then all of a sudden you've got them! |
