Just in: Natasha of the amazing Poi Pixies in Victoria has invited me over to teach two days of advanced poi workshops, July 26th and 27th, and to perform at the Luminara Lantern Festival on the 26th. The workshops are selling out quick, so BOOK NOW if you want to attend. We're all getting excited about my performance on Saturday night, so please come if you can. It's going to be a very special performance, and a great festival. The more friends in the audience the better! :)

I will be offering advanced poi dancing classes in the park Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout July. We will be playing with different moves and concepts each class. We'll keep the group fairly small so everybody will get individual feedback, and we can break down into sub-groups to focus on individual interests.

These classes are ideal for those fluid with all the basic movements of poi dancing (for a overview of the basics go to overview of the basics, this is a great way to take your poi dancing to the next level. The classes will include but won't be limited to:
